Juniper vs Merlot
Juniper and Merlot come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Juniper reads as green-grey, while Merlot reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 16-point LRV gap — 20 for Juniper vs 4 for Merlot — means Juniper will open up a space more effectively. Where Juniper leans cool, Merlot reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of NaN 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.

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.
