Autumnal vs White Iris

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Autumnal reads as beige, while White Iris reads as blue-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 76 vs 33, White Iris will read as the brighter of the two — a 43-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Autumnal's warm character against White Iris's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 49.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
