Modern Gray vs Soft Suede
Modern Gray and Soft Suede come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 62 for Modern Gray vs 57 for Soft Suede — means Modern Gray will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 3.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
