African Gray vs Sundew

African Gray and Sundew come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. African Gray reads as grey, while Sundew reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 32-point LRV gap — 63 for Sundew vs 31 for African Gray — means Sundew will open up a space more effectively. Where African Gray leans neutral, Sundew reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 28.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
