Goldenrod vs Regatta
Goldenrod and Regatta come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Goldenrod reads as beige, while Regatta reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 42-point LRV gap — 50 for Goldenrod vs 8 for Regatta — means Goldenrod will open up a space more effectively. Where Goldenrod leans warm, Regatta reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 94.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
