Sensitive Tint vs Shoji White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Sensitive Tint reads as grey, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Shoji White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Sensitive Tint (LRV 59), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sensitive Tint runs neutral while Shoji White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 10.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
