Griffin vs Stargazer
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Griffin reads as greige-grey, while Stargazer reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 17 vs 13, Stargazer will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Griffin's warm character against Stargazer's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 16.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
