Velvet Slipper vs Iron Ore
Velvet Slipper (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 11-point LRV gap — 17 for Velvet Slipper vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Velvet Slipper will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 23.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
