Grayish vs Spatial White
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Grayish reads as grey, while Spatial White reads as grey-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 72 vs 60, Spatial White will read as the brighter of the two — a 12-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a neutral quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 6.4, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Grayish vs Spatial White in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Grayish and Spatial White 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.
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 Spatial White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Grayish would.

Grayish vs Spatial White Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Grayish on one side and Spatial White 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.
