Stampede vs Artichoke
Where Stampede belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Artichoke is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Stampede belongs to the greige-grey family and Artichoke to the grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (20 vs 21), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Stampede runs red while Artichoke is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Stampede vs Artichoke in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Stampede and Artichoke are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The temperature contrast between Stampede and Artichoke is what sets these apart most in this context.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Stampede brings more warmth to the space, while Artichoke keeps things cooler and crisper.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Stampede brings more warmth to the space, while Artichoke keeps things cooler and crisper.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Stampede brings more warmth to the space, while Artichoke keeps things cooler and crisper.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Stampede on one side and Artichoke 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.
