Elation vs Leaflet
Elation and Leaflet come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Elation reads as blue-grey, while Leaflet reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 43-point LRV gap — 72 for Elation vs 30 for Leaflet — means Elation will open up a space more effectively. Where Elation leans cool, Leaflet reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 34.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Elation vs Leaflet Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Elation on one side and Leaflet on the other.
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.
