Hinoki vs Rayo de Sol

HinokiSherwin-WilliamsvsRayo de SolSherwin-WilliamsΔE 39.7 — Very different colors

Hinoki and Rayo de Sol come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 16-point LRV gap — 75 for Hinoki vs 60 for Rayo de Sol — means Hinoki will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 39.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
