Pine Brook vs Artichoke
Where Pine Brook belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Artichoke is a Sherwin-Williams color. Pine Brook reads as yellow, while Artichoke reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Artichoke (LRV 21) reflects noticeably more light than Pine Brook (LRV 18), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pine Brook runs yellow while Artichoke is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
