Gardenia vs Scanda
Gardenia and Scanda come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Gardenia reads as beige, while Scanda reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 53-point LRV gap — 78 for Gardenia vs 25 for Scanda — means Gardenia will open up a space more effectively. Where Gardenia leans warm, Scanda reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 47.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
