Mediterranean Dusk vs Sigh of Relief
Both from Valspar's palette. Mediterranean Dusk (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than Sigh of Relief (LRV 40), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
