Canal Street vs Simple Stone

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Canal Street reads as greige-grey, while Simple Stone reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Simple Stone (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Canal Street (LRV 29), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 19.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
