Anew Gray vs Status Bronze

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Anew Gray reads as greige-grey, while Status Bronze reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Anew Gray (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Status Bronze (LRV 8), a difference of 39 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 41.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
