Serpentine vs Sanderling
Where Serpentine belongs to Little Greene's range, Sanderling is a Sherwin-Williams color. Serpentine reads as greige-grey, while Sanderling reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sanderling (LRV 31) reflects noticeably more light than Serpentine (LRV 28), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Serpentine runs red while Sanderling is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
