Soul vs Pewter Green

SoulJotunvsPewter GreenSherwin-WilliamsΔE 51.1Very different colors

Soul (Jotun) and Pewter Green (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Soul reads as beige-yellow, while Pewter Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 68-point LRV gap — 80 for Soul vs 12 for Pewter Green — means Soul will open up a space more effectively. Where Soul leans warm, Pewter Green reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 51.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 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. Soul returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
