Sanctuary vs Starry Night

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Sanctuary belongs to the beige-greige family and Starry Night to the blue-grey family. Sanctuary (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Starry Night (LRV 69), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sanctuary runs warm while Starry Night is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
