Stepping Stone vs Gris
Stepping Stone is a PPG color while Gris comes from Sherwin-Williams. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 39 and 39, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.4, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
