Grayish vs Nouvelle White

Grayish and Nouvelle White come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Grayish reads as grey, while Nouvelle White reads as grey-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 13-point LRV gap — 72 for Nouvelle White vs 60 for Grayish — means Nouvelle White will open up a space more effectively. Where Grayish leans neutral, Nouvelle White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 6.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
