Breakwater vs Evergreen Fog
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Breakwater reads as grey, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Breakwater (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Evergreen Fog (LRV 30), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 9.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
