Antimony vs Illusion
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Antimony reads as grey, while Illusion reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Antimony (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Illusion (LRV 40), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Antimony runs neutral while Illusion is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
