Marine vs Wallflower

MarineSherwin-WilliamsvsWallflowerSherwin-WilliamsΔE 22.3Distinct difference

Marine and Wallflower come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Marine reads as green-grey, while Wallflower reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 28-point LRV gap — 64 for Wallflower vs 36 for Marine — means Wallflower will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 22.3 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.
