Spun Wool vs Taupe Tease
Both from Behr's palette. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Spun Wool (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Taupe Tease (LRV 70), a difference of 3 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. At ΔE 1.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
