Manor House vs Rain Cloud

Manor House and Rain Cloud come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Manor House reads as grey, while Rain Cloud reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 11 vs 11 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Manor House leans neutral, Rain Cloud reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 12.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
