Downing Earth vs Meadow Trail

Downing Earth and Meadow Trail come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Downing Earth belongs to the greige-grey family and Meadow Trail to the beige-greige family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 20 vs 22 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 3.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
