How they read
In their own wordsArmored Steel DE6279 is a medium grey-green from Dunn-Edwards' Perfect Palette, filed under its cool neutrals. Dunn-Edwards describes it as "a medium gray-green with industrial undertones" and gives an LRV of 17.
Lamp Room Gray is what Farrow & Ball calls its 'most traditional blue grey' — a mid-light grey with a soft blue cast that feels older and more settled than a modern cool grey. It takes its name from the rooms where oil lamps were once trimmed and stored.
