Inchyra BlueFarrow & BallvsRain CloudSherwin-WilliamsΔE 4.3Noticeable difference

Both sit in the blue-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (13 vs 11), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions.

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.
