Mystere vs Dutch Cocoa
Where Mystere belongs to Behr's range, Dutch Cocoa is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Mystere (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Dutch Cocoa (LRV 18), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mystere runs red while Dutch Cocoa is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
