Breathtaking vs Gravity
Breathtaking (Sherwin-Williams) and Gravity (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Breathtaking reads as blue, while Gravity reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 7-point LRV gap — 63 for Breathtaking vs 56 for Gravity — means Breathtaking will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 9.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Breathtaking vs Gravity in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Breathtaking and Gravity 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
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Breathtaking has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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