Grey Mist vs Starry Night
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Grey Mist belongs to the beige-greige family and Starry Night to the blue-grey family. Grey Mist (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Starry Night (LRV 69), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Grey Mist runs warm while Starry Night is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
