Drift of Mist vs Soft Suede
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Drift of Mist belongs to the greige-grey family and Soft Suede to the beige-greige family. Drift of Mist (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Soft Suede (LRV 57), a difference of 12 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. The ΔE 7.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
