Oyster Shell vs Thin Ice
Both from PPG's palette. Oyster Shell reads as beige-greige, while Thin Ice reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Thin Ice (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Oyster Shell (LRV 28), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 29.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
