Gray Heron vs Snowbound
Gray Heron (PPG) and Snowbound (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Gray Heron reads as grey, while Snowbound reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 55-point LRV gap — 83 for Snowbound vs 28 for Gray Heron — means Snowbound will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 33.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Gray Heron vs Snowbound Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Gray Heron on one side and Snowbound on the other.
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.
