Black Magic vs Weathervane
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Black Magic reads as grey, while Weathervane reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

The tonal difference — Black Magic's neutral character against Weathervane's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 10.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
