Homburg Gray vs Leather Bound

Homburg Gray and Leather Bound come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Homburg Gray reads as grey, while Leather Bound reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 15 vs 15 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Homburg Gray leans neutral, Leather Bound reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 31.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
