Grand Shadow vs Meander

Grand ShadowJotunvsMeanderSherwin-WilliamsΔE 1.1Subtle difference

Grand Shadow is a Jotun color while Meander comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. With LRVs of 43 and 42, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 1.1, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. 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.
