Cascades vs Rockweed

Cascades and Rockweed come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Cascades belongs to the blue family and Rockweed to the grey family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 4 vs 4 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Cascades leans cool, Rockweed reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 15.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
