Downing Stone vs Rushing River

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Downing Stone belongs to the grey family and Rushing River to the greige-grey family. Downing Stone (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Rushing River (LRV 34), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Downing Stone runs neutral while Rushing River is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
