Auger Shell vs Slate Violet

Auger Shell and Slate Violet come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Auger Shell reads as grey, while Slate Violet reads as grey-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 30 vs 29 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a neutral character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 2.8 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
