Subway Tile® vs Granite
Where Subway Tile® belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Granite is a Tikkurila color. Subway Tile® reads as blue-grey, while Granite reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Subway Tile® (LRV 43) reflects noticeably more light than Granite (LRV 38), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
