Inkwell vs Night Out

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Hue-wise, Inkwell belongs to the blue-grey family and Night Out to the grey family. At LRV 14 vs 4, Night Out will read as the brighter of the two — a 10-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Inkwell's cool character against Night Out's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 22.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
