Going Grey vs Zinc Luster
Going Grey and Zinc Luster come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Going Grey reads as grey, while Zinc Luster reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 22 vs 23 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Going Grey leans neutral, Zinc Luster reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 6.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. 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.
