Destiny vs Niebla Azul
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Destiny belongs to the grey family and Niebla Azul to the blue-grey family. Destiny (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Niebla Azul (LRV 53), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Destiny runs neutral while Niebla Azul is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
