Mortar vs Silverpointe
Where Mortar belongs to Behr's range, Silverpointe is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Mortar (LRV 67) reflects noticeably more light than Silverpointe (LRV 64), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mortar runs yellow while Silverpointe is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
