Ecru vs Moody Blue
Ecru and Moody Blue come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Ecru reads as beige, while Moody Blue reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 24-point LRV gap — 51 for Ecru vs 26 for Moody Blue — means Ecru will open up a space more effectively. Where Ecru leans warm, Moody Blue reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 32.7 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.
