Fun in the Sun vs Snowbound
Where Fun in the Sun belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Snowbound is a Sherwin-Williams color. Fun in the Sun reads as beige-yellow, while Snowbound reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (82 vs 83), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Fun in the Sun runs yellow while Snowbound is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Fun in the Sun on one side and Snowbound on the other.
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.
