Nearly Brown vs Piazza
Nearly Brown (Sherwin-Williams) and Piazza (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 36-point LRV gap — 65 for Piazza vs 29 for Nearly Brown — means Piazza will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 26.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
