Alloy vs Tabby Cat Gray
Alloy (Sherwin-Williams) and Tabby Cat Gray (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 28 for Tabby Cat Gray vs 25 for Alloy — means Tabby Cat Gray will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.6 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
