Antimony vs Repose Gray
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Antimony reads as grey, while Repose Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 57 and 58, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Antimony's neutral character against Repose Gray's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 1.9, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Antimony vs Repose Gray in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Antimony and Repose Gray are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Antimony reads more restrained here, while Repose Gray adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The temperature contrast between Repose Gray and Antimony is what sets these apart most in this context.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The temperature contrast between Repose Gray and Antimony is what sets these apart most in this context.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The temperature contrast between Repose Gray and Antimony is what sets these apart most in this context.

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