Cadet vs Scattered Showers
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Cadet reads as blue-grey, while Scattered Showers reads as grey-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

They share a neutral quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 8.8, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
