Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 4.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

Spring Air vs Shagreen in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Spring Air and Shagreen 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. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.

Spring Air vs Shagreen Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Spring Air on one side and Shagreen on the other.
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.
