Autumn Orchid vs Intuitive

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. Intuitive (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Autumn Orchid (LRV 29), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Autumn Orchid runs neutral while Intuitive is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
