Ellie Gray vs Stay in Lime

Ellie GraySherwin-WilliamsvsStay in LimeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 40.2Very different colors

Ellie Gray and Stay in Lime come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Ellie Gray reads as grey, while Stay in Lime reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 40 vs 38 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a neutral character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 40.2 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.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
