Classic French Gray vs Going Grey

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 24 vs 22, Classic French Gray will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a neutral quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 2.8, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
