Coquina vs Poetry Plum
Coquina and Poetry Plum come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 16-point LRV gap — 28 for Coquina vs 12 for Poetry Plum — means Coquina will open up a space more effectively. Where Coquina leans neutral, Poetry Plum reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 19.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
