Golden Fleece vs Iron Ore

Golden FleeceSherwin-WilliamsvsIron OreSherwin-WilliamsΔE 55.6Very different colors

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Golden Fleece reads as beige, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 46 vs 6, Golden Fleece will read as the brighter of the two — a 40-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Golden Fleece's warm character against Iron Ore's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 55.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
