Impetuous vs Joy
Impetuous (Sherwin-Williams) and Joy (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Impetuous reads as beige-yellow, while Joy reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 12-point LRV gap — 79 for Joy vs 67 for Impetuous — means Joy will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 11.0 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.

Impetuous vs Joy Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Impetuous on one side and Joy on the other.
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.
