Glacier Bay vs Iron Ore
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Glacier Bay reads as greige-white, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Glacier Bay (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Iron Ore (LRV 6), a difference of 70 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. With a ΔE of 61.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
