Baluster vs Silt
Both from Little Greene's palette. Baluster reads as grey, while Silt reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (23 vs 21), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 7.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Baluster vs Silt in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Baluster and Silt are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Baluster vs Silt Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Baluster on one side and Silt on the other.
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.
