Grounded vs Tarragon
Grounded and Tarragon come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Grounded belongs to the beige-greige family and Tarragon to the blue-grey family. The 5-point LRV gap — 12 for Grounded vs 7 for Tarragon — means Grounded will open up a space more effectively. Where Grounded leans warm, Tarragon reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 25.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
