Pinch of Spice vs River Rouge
Where Pinch of Spice belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, River Rouge is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Pinch of Spice (LRV 15) reflects noticeably more light than River Rouge (LRV 12), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
