DaydreamSherwin-WilliamsvsWild LimeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 29.4 — Very different colors

Daydream and Wild Lime come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Daydream belongs to the blue-grey family and Wild Lime to the beige-yellow family. The 18-point LRV gap — 72 for Wild Lime vs 54 for Daydream — means Wild Lime will open up a space more effectively. Where Daydream leans cool, Wild Lime reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 29.4 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.
