Colonial Revival Gray vs Misty
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Colonial Revival Gray belongs to the grey family and Misty to the blue-grey family. Misty (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Colonial Revival Gray (LRV 48), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 9.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
