Cotton vs Vessel

Cotton and Vessel come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Cotton reads as beige-greige, while Vessel reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 25-point LRV gap — 83 for Cotton vs 58 for Vessel — means Cotton will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 12.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
