Side Kick vs Iron Ore
Side Kick (PPG) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 47-point LRV gap — 53 for Side Kick vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Side Kick will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 50.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.
