Alaea vs Grayish
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Alaea reads as pink, while Grayish reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 60 vs 12, Grayish will read as the brighter of the two — a 47-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Alaea's warm character against Grayish's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 43.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
