Cooled Blue vs Raisin
Cooled Blue and Raisin come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Cooled Blue reads as blue, while Raisin reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 39-point LRV gap — 41 for Cooled Blue vs 3 for Raisin — means Cooled Blue will open up a space more effectively. Where Cooled Blue leans cool, Raisin reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 60.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
