Mortar vs Starry Night

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Mortar reads as beige-greige, while Starry Night reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 74 vs 69, Mortar will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Mortar's warm character against Starry Night's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 8.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
