Grayish vs Restoration

Grayish and Restoration come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Grayish belongs to the grey family and Restoration to the greige-grey family. The 22-point LRV gap — 60 for Grayish vs 38 for Restoration — means Grayish will open up a space more effectively. Where Grayish leans neutral, Restoration reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 14.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
