Felted Wool vs Lavender Wisp

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Felted Wool reads as greige-grey, while Lavender Wisp reads as blue-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Digital color is approximate.

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