Curio Gray vs Loveable
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Curio Gray reads as greige-grey, while Loveable reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Loveable (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Curio Gray (LRV 26), a difference of 35 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. With a ΔE of 29.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
