Dewy vs Radiant Lilac
Dewy and Radiant Lilac come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Dewy belongs to the green family and Radiant Lilac to the grey family. The 45-point LRV gap — 73 for Dewy vs 28 for Radiant Lilac — means Dewy will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 36.3 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.
