Gardenia vs Snowbound
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Gardenia reads as beige, while Snowbound reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 83 vs 78, Snowbound will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 11.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
