Spun Wool vs Snowbound
Where Spun Wool belongs to Behr's range, Snowbound is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Snowbound (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Spun Wool (LRV 73), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Spun Wool runs red while Snowbound is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
