Pachyderm vs Whisper

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Pachyderm belongs to the greige-grey family and Whisper to the beige-greige family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (45 vs 45), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 1.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
