Grapy vs Poetry Plum
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Grapy (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Poetry Plum (LRV 12), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Grapy runs neutral while Poetry Plum is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
