GriffinSherwin-WilliamsvsRegale BlueSherwin-WilliamsΔE 42.1 — Very different colors

Griffin and Regale Blue come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Griffin belongs to the greige-grey family and Regale Blue to the blue family. The 29-point LRV gap — 42 for Regale Blue vs 13 for Griffin — means Regale Blue will open up a space more effectively. Where Griffin leans warm, Regale Blue reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 42.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
