Silver Peony vs G488
Where Silver Peony belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, G488 is a Tikkurila color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Silver Peony (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than G488 (LRV 63), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
