Roycroft Mist Gray vs Zeus
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. Roycroft Mist Gray (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Zeus (LRV 28), a difference of 23 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 17.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
