Blackberry vs Marooned
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. These are both pinks, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink to land. With LRVs of 5 and 4, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Blackberry's cool character against Marooned's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 6.4, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Blackberry vs Marooned in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Blackberry and Marooned are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The temperature contrast between Marooned and Blackberry is what sets these apart most in this context.
Front Door
Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. Blackberry reads more restrained here, while Marooned adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.

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.
