Patience vs Starry Night

Patience and Starry Night come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Patience belongs to the beige family and Starry Night to the blue-grey family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 67 vs 69 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Patience leans warm, Starry Night reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 14.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
