Drift of Mist vs Spinach White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Drift of Mist reads as greige-grey, while Spinach White reads as white-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Spinach White (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Drift of Mist (LRV 69), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Drift of Mist runs warm while Spinach White is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
