Hibernate vs Smooth Stone

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Hibernate belongs to the grey family and Smooth Stone to the greige-grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (38 vs 37), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Hibernate runs neutral while Smooth Stone is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
