Neutrals — not all whites are the same
Does the gap between ivory and greige show up at all?
Neutrals separate by temperature and value rather than hue, which asks more of the tag than a colour name usually gets.
The four are ordered from light to dark.
The cuts below share a seed and a sampler, but the prompt differs from cut to cut. Open any cut to see the full prompt it received.
What each cut shows
ivory- Not white at all: a pale beige-grey, darker than the background.
greige- Between grey and beige: lower in saturation and more neutral than ivory.
slate gray- No blue at all: the same warm pale grey as greige.
charcoal- A grey a little deeper than middle, far from black, with a faint brown-khaki tint.

Takeaway
They broadly keep the lightness order but not the temperature: greige and slate_gray came out as the same warm grey, and no cut here is a cool grey. Useful for setting how light a garment is, much less for its tone.
How far this result reaches
Against a grey background a neutral garment starts to disappear — this comparison sits near that edge.
Measured on a single Stable Diffusion family checkpoint. The same tags can behave differently on NovelAI, Midjourney or another checkpoint. This is a reference point, not a verdict.
