Iron Gate vs Smokehouse
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Iron Gate reads as beige-greige, while Smokehouse reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Smokehouse (LRV 13) reflects noticeably more light than Iron Gate (LRV 4), a difference of 9 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. With a ΔE of 20.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
