Coquina vs Smart White

Coquina and Smart White come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Coquina belongs to the grey family and Smart White to the beige-pink family. The 44-point LRV gap — 72 for Smart White vs 28 for Coquina — means Smart White will open up a space more effectively. Where Coquina leans neutral, Smart White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 28.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
