Grey Heron vs Pediment
Grey Heron and Pediment come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 4-point LRV gap — 65 for Grey Heron vs 61 for Pediment — means Grey Heron will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 2.2 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Grey Heron vs Pediment in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Grey Heron and Pediment 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.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Grey Heron has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The brightness difference is modest but present — Grey Heron gives the walls a little more lift.

Grey Heron vs Pediment Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Grey Heron on one side and Pediment 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.
