Down vs Cold Foam
Where Down belongs to Little Greene's range, Cold Foam is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Down belongs to the beige family and Cold Foam to the beige-greige family. Cold Foam (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Down (LRV 80), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Down runs red while Cold Foam is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
