Arsenic vs Turquish

ArsenicFarrow & BallvsTurquishSherwin-WilliamsΔE 22.2Distinct difference

Arsenic (Farrow & Ball) and Turquish (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Arsenic reads as green, while Turquish reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 10-point LRV gap — 37 for Arsenic vs 27 for Turquish — means Arsenic will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 22.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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. 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.
