Imagine vs X478
Imagine (Sherwin-Williams) and X478 (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Imagine reads as grey, while X478 reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 51 for X478 vs 48 for Imagine — means X478 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 3.0 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. 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.
