Mushroom vs Starry Night
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Hue-wise, Mushroom belongs to the beige-greige family and Starry Night to the blue-grey family. At LRV 69 vs 57, Starry Night will read as the brighter of the two — a 12-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Mushroom's warm character against Starry Night's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 13.4, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
