Metropolis vs Renwick Heather

Metropolis and Renwick Heather come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 13-point LRV gap — 22 for Renwick Heather vs 8 for Metropolis — means Renwick Heather will open up a space more effectively. Both share a neutral character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 18.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
