Black Bean vs Coquina
Black Bean and Coquina come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 24-point LRV gap — 28 for Coquina vs 4 for Black Bean — means Coquina will open up a space more effectively. Where Black Bean leans warm, Coquina reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 37.6 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.
