Cotton vs Nacre

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Cotton belongs to the beige-greige family and Nacre to the beige family. Cotton (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Nacre (LRV 76), a difference of 7 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. The ΔE 3.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
