Distance vs Golden Gate
Distance and Golden Gate come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Distance reads as blue, while Golden Gate reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 31-point LRV gap — 46 for Golden Gate vs 15 for Distance — means Golden Gate will open up a space more effectively. Where Distance leans cool, Golden Gate reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 50.9 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.
