DewySherwin-WilliamsvsTimid BlueSherwin-WilliamsΔE 3.9Noticeable difference

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Hue-wise, Dewy belongs to the green family and Timid Blue to the blue-green family. At LRV 79 vs 73, Timid Blue will read as the brighter of the two — a 6-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a cool quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 3.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.
