Denim vs Palisade

DenimSherwin-WilliamsvsPalisadeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 32.4 — Very different colors

Denim and Palisade come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Denim reads as blue, while Palisade reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 21-point LRV gap — 35 for Palisade vs 14 for Denim — means Palisade will open up a space more effectively. Where Denim leans cool, Palisade reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 32.4 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.
