Desert Twilight vs Willowleaf
Where Desert Twilight belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Willowleaf is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Desert Twilight (LRV 27) reflects noticeably more light than Willowleaf (LRV 24), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Desert Twilight runs yellow while Willowleaf is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
