Angora vs Minute Mauve

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Angora belongs to the beige-greige family and Minute Mauve to the grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (57 vs 59), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Angora runs warm while Minute Mauve is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
