Studio Clay vs Nut Shell
Studio Clay is a Benjamin Moore color while Nut Shell comes from PPG. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 29 and 27, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.0, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
