City Loft vs Lavender Wisp
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. City Loft reads as beige-greige, while Lavender Wisp reads as blue-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lavender Wisp (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than City Loft (LRV 70), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. City Loft runs warm while Lavender Wisp is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
