Mostly Metal vs Artichoke
Mostly Metal is a PPG color while Artichoke comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 21 vs 11, Artichoke will read as the brighter of the two — a 10-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 21.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
