Cosmos vs Lime Rickey
Cosmos and Lime Rickey come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Cosmos reads as blue, while Lime Rickey reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 7-point LRV gap — 45 for Lime Rickey vs 38 for Cosmos — means Lime Rickey will open up a space more effectively. Where Cosmos leans cool, Lime Rickey reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 56.2 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.
