Almost Oyster vs Hush White
Almost Oyster (Dulux) and Hush White (Sherwin-Williams) 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 — 74 vs 72 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 0.9 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
