NacreSherwin-WilliamsvsStarry NightSherwin-WilliamsΔE 10.9 — Distinct difference

Nacre and Starry Night come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Nacre reads as beige, while Starry Night reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 7-point LRV gap — 76 for Nacre vs 69 for Starry Night — means Nacre will open up a space more effectively. Where Nacre leans warm, Starry Night reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 10.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
