Grayish vs Snowfall
Grayish and Snowfall come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Grayish belongs to the grey family and Snowfall to the greige-grey family. The 14-point LRV gap — 73 for Snowfall vs 60 for Grayish — means Snowfall will open up a space more effectively. Where Grayish leans neutral, Snowfall reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 7.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Grayish vs Snowfall in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Grayish 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
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. Snowfall reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Grayish.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Snowfall returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Grayish vs Snowfall Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Grayish 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.
