Night Out vs Steely Gray

Night Out and Steely Gray come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Night Out reads as grey, while Steely Gray reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 16-point LRV gap — 30 for Steely Gray vs 14 for Night Out — means Steely Gray 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 17.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
