Adrift vs Sockeye
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Adrift belongs to the blue family and Sockeye to the pink-red family. Sockeye (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Adrift (LRV 37), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Adrift runs cool while Sockeye is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
