Silver Peony vs Snowbound
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Silver Peony reads as grey, while Snowbound reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Snowbound (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Silver Peony (LRV 68), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Silver Peony runs neutral while Snowbound is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
