Cold Foam vs Habitat
Cold Foam and Habitat come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Cold Foam reads as beige-greige, while Habitat reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 63-point LRV gap — 84 for Cold Foam vs 21 for Habitat — means Cold Foam will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 40.8 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.

Cold Foam vs Habitat Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cold Foam on one side and Habitat 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.
