Light Gray vs Aldabra
Where Light Gray belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Aldabra is a PPG color. Light Gray reads as beige-greige, while Aldabra reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Light Gray (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Aldabra (LRV 36), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
