Hardware vs Reynard

Hardware and Reynard come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hardware reads as greige-grey, while Reynard reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 23 for Hardware vs 20 for Reynard — means Hardware will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 34.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
