Iron Gate vs Tungsten
Iron Gate and Tungsten come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 4-point LRV gap — 8 for Tungsten vs 4 for Iron Gate — means Tungsten will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. 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.

Iron Gate vs Tungsten Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Iron Gate on one side and Tungsten 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.
