Plummy vs Sea Salt

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Plummy reads as grey, while Sea Salt reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 63 vs 11, Sea Salt will read as the brighter of the two — a 52-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Plummy's cool character against Sea Salt's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 48.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
