Artichoke vs Synergy
Artichoke and Synergy come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Artichoke reads as grey, while Synergy reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 22-point LRV gap — 43 for Synergy vs 21 for Artichoke — means Synergy will open up a space more effectively. Where Artichoke leans neutral, Synergy reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 39.9 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.
