Rainwashed vs Spangle
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Rainwashed reads as green-grey, while Spangle reads as pink-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Spangle (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Rainwashed (LRV 59), a difference of 14 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 14.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
