City Fog vs Tawny Owl
Both from Dulux's palette. Hue-wise, City Fog belongs to the grey family and Tawny Owl to the greige-grey family. City Fog (LRV 15) reflects noticeably more light than Tawny Owl (LRV 10), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. City Fog runs neutral while Tawny Owl is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
