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 10.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
