Alloy vs Viaduct

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Alloy reads as grey, while Viaduct reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Viaduct (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Alloy (LRV 25), a difference of 25 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Alloy runs neutral while Viaduct is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 18.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
