Portsmouth vs Scattered Showers
Portsmouth and Scattered Showers come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Portsmouth belongs to the blue-grey family and Scattered Showers to the grey-red family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 22 vs 22 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a neutral character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 4.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
