Roycroft Vellum vs Starry Night

Roycroft Vellum and Starry Night come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Roycroft Vellum reads as beige, while Starry Night reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 70 vs 69 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Roycroft Vellum leans warm, Starry Night reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 18.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
