LandmarkSherwin-WilliamsvsRain CloudSherwin-WilliamsΔE 18.2 — Distinct difference

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Landmark reads as greige-grey, while Rain Cloud reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 15 vs 11, Landmark will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Landmark's warm character against Rain Cloud's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 18.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Front Door

Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. Landmark has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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.
