Saloon vs Ficus
Saloon (Cloverdale Paint) and Ficus (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Saloon reads as greige-grey, while Ficus reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 6 vs 7 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. ΔE 3.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

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.
