Eider White vs Tinsmith
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Eider White reads as greige-grey, while Tinsmith reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Eider White runs warm while Tinsmith is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
