Perennial Grey vs Chatroom
Where Perennial Grey belongs to Little Greene's range, Chatroom is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. Chatroom (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Perennial Grey (LRV 38), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Perennial Grey runs red while Chatroom is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
