Wayward Willow vs Artichoke

Wayward WillowPPGvsArtichokeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 35.4Very different colors

Wayward Willow (PPG) and Artichoke (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 49-point LRV gap — 70 for Wayward Willow vs 21 for Artichoke — means Wayward Willow will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 35.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
