Argos vs Chelsea Gray

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 51 vs 47, Argos will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a neutral quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 2.4, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. 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.
