Colonnade Gray vs Touch of Grey
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Colonnade Gray reads as greige-grey, while Touch of Grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Touch of Grey (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Colonnade Gray (LRV 53), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Colonnade Gray runs warm while Touch of Grey is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
