Armory vs Ripe Berry

Armory and Ripe Berry come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 10 for Ripe Berry vs 5 for Armory — means Ripe Berry will open up a space more effectively. Where Armory leans neutral, Ripe Berry reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 15.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
