Chateau Brown vs Manor House
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Manor House (LRV 11) reflects noticeably more light than Chateau Brown (LRV 8), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Chateau Brown runs warm while Manor House is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
