Coquina vs Deepest Mauve
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Coquina (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Deepest Mauve (LRV 11), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Coquina runs neutral while Deepest Mauve is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.4, 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.
