Silt vs High Tea
Where Silt belongs to Little Greene's range, High Tea is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Silt belongs to the greige-grey family and High Tea to the beige-greige family. Silt (LRV 21) reflects noticeably more light than High Tea (LRV 17), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Silt runs red while High Tea is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
