Sweater Weather vs Whirlwind
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Sweater Weather reads as grey, while Whirlwind reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Whirlwind (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Sweater Weather (LRV 60), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sweater Weather runs neutral while Whirlwind is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
