Ghosted vs Touch of Grey

GhostedSherwin-WilliamsvsTouch of GreySherwin-WilliamsΔE 6.1 — Noticeable difference

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Ghosted reads as greige-grey, while Touch of Grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ghosted (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Touch of Grey (LRV 62), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ghosted runs warm while Touch of Grey is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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. 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.
