Wickham Gray (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Gray Wisp (LRV 54), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 7.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Gray Wisp vs Wickham Gray in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Gray Wisp and Wickham Gray are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Wickham Gray will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Gray Wisp would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Wickham Gray reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Gray Wisp.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Wickham Gray reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Gray Wisp.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Wickham Gray reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Gray Wisp.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
