First Star vs Touch of Grey
First Star and Touch of Grey come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 7-point LRV gap — 69 for First Star vs 62 for Touch of Grey — means First Star will open up a space more effectively. Both share a neutral character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 3.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
