Cityscape vs Pewter Green

CityscapeJotunvsPewter GreenSherwin-WilliamsΔE 21.2Distinct difference

Cityscape (Jotun) and Pewter Green (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. The 18-point LRV gap — 30 for Cityscape vs 12 for Pewter Green — means Cityscape will open up a space more effectively. Both share a neutral character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 21.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Cityscape returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Kitchen Cabinets

Cityscape returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
