Requisite Gray vs Vintage
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Requisite Gray reads as greige-grey, while Vintage reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Requisite Gray (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Vintage (LRV 24), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 20.8, 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.
