Midnight vs Mountain Fig
Where Midnight belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Mountain Fig is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (5 vs 4), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
