Gossamer Veil vs Snowfall
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. At LRV 73 vs 62, Snowfall will read as the brighter of the two — a 11-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 6.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Gossamer Veil vs Snowfall in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Gossamer Veil and Snowfall are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Snowfall returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Snowfall will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Gossamer Veil would.

Gossamer Veil vs Snowfall Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Gossamer Veil on one side and Snowfall 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.
