Iron Ore vs Wild Lime
Iron Ore and Wild Lime come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Iron Ore reads as grey, while Wild Lime reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 66-point LRV gap — 72 for Wild Lime vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Wild Lime will open up a space more effectively. Where Iron Ore leans neutral, Wild Lime reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.
