Crushed Ice vs Touch of Grey
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Crushed Ice reads as greige-grey, while Touch of Grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Crushed Ice (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Touch of Grey (LRV 62), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Crushed Ice runs warm while Touch of Grey is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

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.
