Arugula vs Cardboard
Arugula and Cardboard come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Arugula reads as green, while Cardboard reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 12-point LRV gap — 22 for Cardboard vs 10 for Arugula — means Cardboard will open up a space more effectively. Where Arugula leans cool, Cardboard reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 32.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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