Nether Red vs Down Home
Nether Red (Little Greene) and Down Home (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Nether Red belongs to the grey-red family and Down Home to the beige-greige family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 20 vs 20 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Nether Red leans red, Down Home reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 7.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

Digital color is approximate.
