Cloak Gray vs Mythical

Cloak GraySherwin-WilliamsvsMythicalSherwin-WilliamsΔE 15.3 — Distinct difference

Cloak Gray and Mythical come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Cloak Gray reads as grey, while Mythical reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 8-point LRV gap — 20 for Mythical vs 11 for Cloak Gray — means Mythical will open up a space more effectively. Where Cloak Gray leans neutral, Mythical reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 15.3 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.
