Glass BeadSherwin-WilliamsvsRockweedSherwin-WilliamsΔE 66.7 — Very different colors

The 73-point LRV gap — 77 for Glass Bead vs 4 for Rockweed — means Glass Bead will open up a space more effectively. Where Glass Bead leans cool, Rockweed reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.

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.
