Granite Peak vs Griffin
Granite Peak and Griffin come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Granite Peak belongs to the blue-grey family and Griffin to the greige-grey family.

Where Granite Peak leans cool, Griffin reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 15.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Granite Peak vs Griffin in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Granite Peak and Griffin in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Griffin brings more warmth to the space, while Granite Peak keeps things cooler and crisper.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Granite Peak reads more restrained here, while Griffin adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Granite Peak reads more restrained here, while Griffin adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Granite Peak on one side and Griffin 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.
