Natural Gray vs Sparrow

Both from Behr's palette. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Natural Gray (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Sparrow (LRV 44), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 6.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
