Dorian Gray vs Smooth Stone
Dorian Gray and Smooth Stone come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Dorian Gray reads as grey, while Smooth Stone reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 39 vs 37 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Dorian Gray leans neutral, Smooth Stone reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 1.9 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.

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.
