Conservative Gray vs Pacific Fog

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Pacific Fog (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Conservative Gray (LRV 63), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Conservative Gray runs warm while Pacific Fog is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
