Frolic vs Wishful Blue
Frolic and Wishful Blue come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Frolic reads as beige-yellow, while Wishful Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 16-point LRV gap — 72 for Wishful Blue vs 56 for Frolic — means Wishful Blue will open up a space more effectively. Where Frolic leans warm, Wishful Blue reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 58.1 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 Frolic on one side and Wishful Blue 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.
