Limestone vs Soft Sage

LimestoneSherwin-WilliamsvsSoft SageSherwin-WilliamsΔE 33.1 — Very different colors

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Limestone reads as grey, while Soft Sage reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 50 vs 13, Soft Sage will read as the brighter of the two — a 36-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a neutral quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 33.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.
