Woodland SnowBenjamin MoorevsArtichokeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 42.4Very different colors

Where Woodland Snow belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Artichoke is a Sherwin-Williams color. Woodland Snow reads as beige, while Artichoke reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Woodland Snow (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Artichoke (LRV 21), a difference of 64 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Woodland Snow runs red while Artichoke is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 42.4, 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.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
