Reflection vs H496
Where Reflection belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, H496 is a Tikkurila color. Hue-wise, Reflection belongs to the grey family and H496 to the blue-grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (66 vs 67), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 1.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Reflection on one side and H496 on the other.
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.
