Touch of Grey vs Vessel
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Touch of Grey reads as grey, while Vessel reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Touch of Grey (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Vessel (LRV 58), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Touch of Grey runs neutral while Vessel is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
