Metropolis vs Rockweed
Metropolis and Rockweed come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 8 for Metropolis vs 4 for Rockweed — means Metropolis will open up a space more effectively. Where Metropolis leans neutral, Rockweed 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.
