Artichoke vs Mythical
Artichoke and Mythical come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Artichoke belongs to the grey family and Mythical to the blue-grey family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 21 vs 20 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Artichoke leans neutral, Mythical reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 29.7 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.

Artichoke vs Mythical Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Artichoke on one side and Mythical 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.
