Why it might work
  • Light over deepGray brings green; Harlem Nights brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadWoody, warm spicy and earthy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Harlem Nights in winter and fall and Gray in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Harlem Nights is moderate on both, Gray moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
