Plum Dandy vs Veri Berri

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Veri Berri (LRV 21) reflects noticeably more light than Plum Dandy (LRV 17), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 11.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
