Washed Linen vs Sea Spray
Where Washed Linen belongs to Jotun's range, Sea Spray is a Sherwin-Williams color. Washed Linen reads as beige-greige, while Sea Spray reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sea Spray (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Washed Linen (LRV 55), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Washed Linen runs warm while Sea Spray is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
