Clean Slate vs Glass Bead
Clean Slate and Glass Bead come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Clean Slate belongs to the blue-green family and Glass Bead to the blue-white family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 76 vs 77 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Clean Slate leans neutral, Glass Bead reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 1.4 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
