CarambolaSherwin-WilliamsvsMountain FigSherwin-WilliamsΔE 70.8 — Very different colors

Carambola and Mountain Fig come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Carambola belongs to the beige-yellow family and Mountain Fig to the blue-grey family. The 78-point LRV gap — 82 for Carambola vs 4 for Mountain Fig — means Carambola will open up a space more effectively. Where Carambola leans warm, Mountain Fig reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 70.8 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.

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.
