Vermont Slate vs Blue grey
Where Vermont Slate belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Blue grey is a RAL Classic color. Vermont Slate reads as blue, while Blue grey reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Blue grey (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Vermont Slate (LRV 13), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
