IndigoSherwin-WilliamsvsSun SalutationSherwin-WilliamsΔE 81.8 — Very different colors

Indigo and Sun Salutation come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Indigo belongs to the blue family and Sun Salutation to the beige family. The 60-point LRV gap — 66 for Sun Salutation vs 6 for Indigo — means Sun Salutation will open up a space more effectively. Where Indigo leans cool, Sun Salutation reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 81.8 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.
