Alloy vs Felted Wool
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Alloy reads as grey, while Felted Wool reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 28 vs 25, Felted Wool will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Alloy's neutral character against Felted Wool's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 3.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
