Jubilee vs Truly Taupe

JubileeSherwin-WilliamsvsTruly TaupeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 12.5 — Distinct difference

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Jubilee reads as blue-grey, while Truly Taupe reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 45 vs 35, Jubilee will read as the brighter of the two — a 10-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Jubilee's neutral character against Truly Taupe's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 12.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
