Artichoke vs N431
Artichoke (Sherwin-Williams) and N431 (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Artichoke reads as grey, while N431 reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 13-point LRV gap — 21 for Artichoke vs 8 for N431 — means Artichoke will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 36.6 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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Artichoke on one side and N431 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.
