Suede Gray vs Going Grey
Suede Gray (Behr) and Going Grey (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 22 vs 22 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Suede Gray leans red, Going Grey reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 1.4 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
