Attitude Gray vs Willowleaf
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Willowleaf (LRV 24) reflects noticeably more light than Attitude Gray (LRV 20), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
