Napery vs Windy Blue

NaperySherwin-WilliamsvsWindy BlueSherwin-WilliamsΔE 28.2Very different colors

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Napery reads as beige, while Windy Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Napery (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Windy Blue (LRV 48), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Napery runs warm while Windy Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 28.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
