Artichoke vs M502
Artichoke (Sherwin-Williams) and M502 (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 15-point LRV gap — 36 for M502 vs 21 for Artichoke — means M502 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 25.7 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.
