Dignity Blue vs Greek Villa

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Dignity Blue reads as blue, while Greek Villa reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Greek Villa (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Dignity Blue (LRV 6), a difference of 78 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dignity Blue runs cool while Greek Villa is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 71.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate.
