Berry Cream vs Radiant Lilac
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. With LRVs of 28 and 28, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a cool quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 5.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
