Carriage Stone vs Settlement
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Carriage Stone reads as greige-grey, while Settlement reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (18 vs 19), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Carriage Stone runs warm while Settlement is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
