Inky Blue vs Trinket

Inky BlueSherwin-WilliamsvsTrinketSherwin-WilliamsΔE 79.8 — Very different colors

Inky Blue and Trinket come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Inky Blue reads as blue, while Trinket reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 22-point LRV gap — 37 for Trinket vs 15 for Inky Blue — means Trinket will open up a space more effectively. Where Inky Blue leans cool, Trinket reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 79.8 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.
