Hammered Silver vs Poised Taupe
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hammered Silver reads as greige-grey, while Poised Taupe reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Hammered Silver (LRV 26) reflects noticeably more light than Poised Taupe (LRV 22), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 5.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
