Agreeable Gray vs Evergreen Fog
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Agreeable Gray (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Evergreen Fog (LRV 30), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Agreeable Gray runs warm while Evergreen Fog is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
