Serpentine vs Curio Gray
Where Serpentine belongs to Little Greene's range, Curio Gray 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. Serpentine (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Curio Gray (LRV 26), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Serpentine runs red while Curio Gray is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
