Harrow Gate vs Warm Putty
Harrow Gate (Cloverdale Paint) and Warm Putty (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 67 vs 65 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 0.4 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.

Harrow Gate vs Warm Putty in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Harrow Gate and Warm Putty 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.
