Gleeful vs Roman Column
Gleeful and Roman Column come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Gleeful reads as beige-yellow, while Roman Column reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 22-point LRV gap — 88 for Roman Column vs 66 for Gleeful — means Roman Column will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 31.2 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 Gleeful on one side and Roman Column 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.
