Browse Brown vs Glass Bead
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Browse Brown reads as grey, while Glass Bead reads as blue-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 77 vs 13, Glass Bead will read as the brighter of the two — a 65-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms.

At ΔE 48.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
