Blue Gray vs Tracery II

Blue GrayFarrow & BallvsTracery IILittle GreeneΔE 3.9Noticeable difference

Blue Gray is a Farrow & Ball color while Tracery II comes from Little Greene. Blue Gray reads as blue-greige, while Tracery II reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 45 and 46, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Blue Gray's warm character against Tracery II's yellow — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 3.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
