Gris vs Plum Dandy

Gris and Plum Dandy come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 23-point LRV gap — 39 for Gris vs 17 for Plum Dandy — means Gris will open up a space more effectively. Where Gris leans neutral, Plum Dandy reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 28.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
