Mindful Gray vs Roycroft Mist Gray
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Roycroft Mist Gray (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Mindful Gray (LRV 48), a difference of 3 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. At ΔE 2.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
