Daphne vs Griffin
Daphne and Griffin come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Daphne reads as blue, while Griffin reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 19-point LRV gap — 32 for Daphne vs 13 for Griffin — means Daphne will open up a space more effectively. Where Daphne leans cool, Griffin reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 27.3 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.
