Irish Cream vs Rain Cloud

Irish CreamSherwin-WilliamsvsRain CloudSherwin-WilliamsΔE 49.6Very different colors

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Irish Cream reads as beige, while Rain Cloud reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 66 vs 11, Irish Cream will read as the brighter of the two — a 54-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Irish Cream's warm character against Rain Cloud's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 49.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
