First Star vs Natural White

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. First Star reads as grey, while Natural White reads as greige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Natural White (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than First Star (LRV 69), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. First Star runs neutral while Natural White is decidedly warm, 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.
