Daydream vs Thunderous
Daydream and Thunderous come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Daydream reads as blue-grey, while Thunderous reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 39-point LRV gap — 54 for Daydream vs 15 for Thunderous — means Daydream will open up a space more effectively. Where Daydream leans cool, Thunderous reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 35.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
