Griffin vs Sapphire

Griffin and Sapphire come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Griffin belongs to the greige-grey family and Sapphire to the blue family. The 5-point LRV gap — 18 for Sapphire vs 13 for Griffin — means Sapphire will open up a space more effectively. Where Griffin leans warm, Sapphire reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 40.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
