Pebble grey vs Shiitake

Pebble grey reads as greige-grey, while Shiitake reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Shiitake (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Pebble grey (LRV 45), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
