Grapes of Wrath vs Mesmerize
Where Grapes of Wrath belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Mesmerize is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Grapes of Wrath (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Mesmerize (LRV 13), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
