Tikkurila
·
Benjamin Moore

Where Ash belongs to Tikkurila's range, Platinum Gray is a Benjamin Moore color. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (38 vs 39), so they'll read as similarly medium in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 0.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

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.
