Crushed Ice vs Modern Lavender
Crushed Ice and Modern Lavender come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Crushed Ice belongs to the greige-grey family and Modern Lavender to the blue-grey family. The 25-point LRV gap — 66 for Crushed Ice vs 40 for Modern Lavender — means Crushed Ice will open up a space more effectively. Where Crushed Ice leans warm, Modern Lavender reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 17.3 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.

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.
