Gray Screen vs Sprout
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Gray Screen belongs to the grey family and Sprout to the beige-yellow family. Sprout (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Gray Screen (LRV 59), a difference of 18 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 14.6, 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.
