Going GreySherwin-WilliamsvsLotus PetalSherwin-WilliamsΔE 37.0 — Very different colors

Going Grey and Lotus Petal come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Going Grey belongs to the grey family and Lotus Petal to the beige-pink family. The 55-point LRV gap — 77 for Lotus Petal vs 22 for Going Grey — means Lotus Petal will open up a space more effectively. Where Going Grey leans neutral, Lotus Petal reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 37.0 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.

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.
