The choice beside cream counters and taupe upholstery
Cream counters and taupe fabric create separate pale boundaries, both of which need to welcome the green-gray contribution.
Set up both candidates with cream counters and taupe upholstery. Use equal-sized boards with the intended finishes and place them in the same orientation. Do not put one directly beside a window and leave the other in shadow. A difference that follows the position rather than the board is a lighting observation, not evidence that the formula changed.
What the comparison can—and cannot—settle
The alternative Jogging Path has an LRV of 49.
Compare the green cast beside the countertop and fabric before deciding to repeat it across a room. Assess Fawn Brindle and Amazing Gray alone as well as side by side. The unchosen board will not remain in the finished room, and a preference created only by that neighbor may not survive its removal. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
