Daphne vs Persimmon
Daphne and Persimmon come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Daphne reads as blue, while Persimmon reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 7-point LRV gap — 39 for Persimmon vs 32 for Daphne — means Persimmon will open up a space more effectively. Where Daphne leans cool, Persimmon reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 42.3 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.
