Network Gray vs Palisade
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Network Gray belongs to the grey family and Palisade to the greige-grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (37 vs 35), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Network Gray runs neutral while Palisade is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
