Armory vs Warm Winter
Armory and Warm Winter come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Armory reads as grey, while Warm Winter reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 65-point LRV gap — 70 for Warm Winter vs 5 for Armory — means Warm Winter will open up a space more effectively. Where Armory leans neutral, Warm Winter reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 61.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
