Felted Wool vs River Reed
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Felted Wool belongs to the greige-grey family and River Reed to the beige-greige family. Felted Wool (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than River Reed (LRV 25), a difference of 3 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 8.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
