Sparrow vs Chaise Mauve

SparrowBehrvsChaise MauveSherwin-WilliamsΔE 5.7Noticeable difference

Sparrow (Behr) and Chaise Mauve (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 46 for Chaise Mauve vs 44 for Sparrow — means Chaise Mauve will open up a space more effectively. Where Sparrow leans red, Chaise Mauve reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 5.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. 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.
