Afterglow vs Indigo
Afterglow and Indigo come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Afterglow reads as beige, while Indigo reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 59-point LRV gap — 65 for Afterglow vs 6 for Indigo — means Afterglow will open up a space more effectively. Where Afterglow leans warm, Indigo reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 82.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
