Dry Dock vs Requisite Gray
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Dry Dock reads as beige-greige, while Requisite Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Requisite Gray (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Dry Dock (LRV 28), a difference of 17 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 14.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
