Shiitake vs Young Colt
Where Shiitake belongs to Behr's range, Young Colt is a Cloverdale Paint color. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Young Colt (LRV 36) reflects noticeably more light than Shiitake (LRV 33), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
