Tavern Charcoal vs Attic II

Tavern Charcoal is a Benjamin Moore color while Attic II comes from Little Greene. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 10 and 9, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Tavern Charcoal's yellow character against Attic II's red — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 2.9, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
