Grape Mist vs Original White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Grape Mist reads as grey, while Original White reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Original White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Grape Mist (LRV 54), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Grape Mist runs neutral while Original White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
