Lite Lavender vs Sensitive Tint
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Lite Lavender (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Sensitive Tint (LRV 59), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lite Lavender runs cool while Sensitive Tint is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
