Cascades vs Jasper
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Hue-wise, Cascades belongs to the blue family and Jasper to the green-grey family. With LRVs of 4 and 4, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Cascades's cool character against Jasper's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 6.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Cascades vs Jasper in Real Spaces
6 real rooms side by side. Cascades and Jasper 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.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Cascades reads more restrained here, while Jasper adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
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 Jasper and Cascades is what sets these apart most in this context.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The temperature contrast between Jasper and Cascades is what sets these apart most in this context.
Home Office
In a home office, wall color sits in your peripheral vision for hours at a time, so temperature and undertone matter more than you might expect. The temperature contrast between Jasper and Cascades is what sets these apart most in this context.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The temperature contrast between Jasper and Cascades is what sets these apart most in this context.

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