Rare Gray vs Sweater Weather
Rare Gray and Sweater Weather come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 22-point LRV gap — 60 for Sweater Weather vs 38 for Rare Gray — means Sweater Weather will open up a space more effectively. Both share a neutral character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 14.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
