Tropical Dusk vs Mythical
Where Tropical Dusk belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mythical is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Tropical Dusk belongs to the grey family and Mythical to the blue-grey family. Tropical Dusk (LRV 23) reflects noticeably more light than Mythical (LRV 20), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Tropical Dusk runs purple while Mythical is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
