Stunning Sapphire vs Iron Ore

Stunning SapphirePPGvsIron OreSherwin-WilliamsΔE 33.9Very different colors

Stunning Sapphire is a PPG color while Iron Ore comes from Sherwin-Williams. Stunning Sapphire reads as blue, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 9 vs 6, Stunning Sapphire will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 33.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
