Alloy vs Terrain

Alloy and Terrain come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Alloy reads as grey, while Terrain reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 25 vs 23 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Alloy leans neutral, Terrain reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 4.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
