Anonymous vs Habitat
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Anonymous belongs to the grey family and Habitat to the greige-grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (20 vs 21), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Anonymous runs neutral while Habitat is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
