Haven vs Obi Lilac
Haven and Obi Lilac come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Haven belongs to the green-yellow family and Obi Lilac to the grey family. The 4-point LRV gap — 42 for Haven vs 39 for Obi Lilac — means Haven will open up a space more effectively. Where Haven leans neutral, Obi Lilac reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 34.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
