Going Grey vs Solitary Slate

Going Grey and Solitary Slate come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Going Grey reads as grey, while Solitary Slate reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 22 vs 19 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Going Grey leans neutral, Solitary Slate reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 4.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
