Soft Chamois vs S 1002-Y20R

The 5-point LRV gap — 82 for S 1002-Y20R vs 77 for Soft Chamois — means S 1002-Y20R will open up a space more effectively. Where Soft Chamois leans yellow, S 1002-Y20R reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.
