Ethereal Mood vs Grey Heron
Ethereal Mood and Grey Heron come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. The 27-point LRV gap — 65 for Grey Heron vs 38 for Ethereal Mood — means Grey Heron will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 17.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
