Gray Area and Perfect Khaki come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Gray Area belongs to the greige-grey family and Perfect Khaki to the beige-greige family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 39 vs 38 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 2.4 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
