Whirlpool vs Pewter Green
Whirlpool (Benjamin Moore) and Pewter Green (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Whirlpool reads as blue-grey, while Pewter Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 63-point LRV gap — 75 for Whirlpool vs 12 for Pewter Green — means Whirlpool will open up a space more effectively. Where Whirlpool leans blue, Pewter Green reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 49.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
