H2OBenjamin MoorevsPewter GreenSherwin-WilliamsΔE 39.7Very different colors

H2O is a Benjamin Moore color while Pewter Green comes from Sherwin-Williams. H2O reads as blue, while Pewter Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 50 vs 12, H2O will read as the brighter of the two — a 39-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — H2O's cool character against Pewter Green's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 39.7, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.
