Fleur De Sel vs Spare White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Fleur De Sel belongs to the grey family and Spare White to the greige-white family. Spare White (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Fleur De Sel (LRV 72), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
