Pacific Fog vs Spare White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Pacific Fog reads as greige-grey, while Spare White reads as greige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Spare White (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Pacific Fog (LRV 71), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
