Inland vs Pavestone
Inland and Pavestone come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Inland reads as green-grey, while Pavestone reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 10-point LRV gap — 32 for Pavestone vs 22 for Inland — means Pavestone will open up a space more effectively. Where Inland leans cool, Pavestone reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 21.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Inland vs Pavestone in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Inland and Pavestone in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Pavestone will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Inland would.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Pavestone returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
