Connected Gray vs Tango
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Connected Gray reads as greige-grey, while Tango reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Tango (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than Connected Gray (LRV 23), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 45.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
