Virtual Taupe vs Bastion
Virtual Taupe is a Sherwin-Williams color while Bastion comes from Tikkurila. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 25 vs 20, Bastion will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 5.2, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
