Elation vs Romaine
Elation and Romaine come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Elation belongs to the blue-grey family and Romaine to the green-yellow family. The 12-point LRV gap — 72 for Elation vs 60 for Romaine — means Elation will open up a space more effectively. Where Elation leans cool, Romaine reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 26.2 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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Elation on one side and Romaine 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.
