Drizzle vs Peacock Plume
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Drizzle belongs to the blue family and Peacock Plume to the blue-grey family. Drizzle (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Peacock Plume (LRV 28), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 9.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Drizzle vs Peacock Plume in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Drizzle and Peacock Plume are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Drizzle will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Peacock Plume would.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Drizzle reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Peacock Plume.

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.
