Ashberry vs Iron Ore

AshberryBehrvsIron OreSherwin-WilliamsΔE 38.2Very different colors

Ashberry (Behr) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Ashberry reads as blue-grey, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 30-point LRV gap — 36 for Ashberry vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Ashberry will open up a space more effectively. Where Ashberry leans purple, Iron Ore reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 38.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
