Meander vs Starry Night

MeanderSherwin-WilliamsvsStarry NightSherwin-WilliamsΔE 21.2 — Distinct difference

Meander and Starry Night come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Meander reads as beige-greige, while Starry Night reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 27-point LRV gap — 69 for Starry Night vs 42 for Meander — means Starry Night will open up a space more effectively. Where Meander leans warm, Starry Night reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 21.2 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.
