Starry Night vs Windsor Greige

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Starry Night reads as blue-grey, while Windsor Greige reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Starry Night (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Windsor Greige (LRV 47), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Starry Night runs cool while Windsor Greige is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
