Narcissus vs Portabello
Narcissus and Portabello come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Narcissus reads as beige-yellow, while Portabello reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 62-point LRV gap — 83 for Narcissus vs 21 for Portabello — means Narcissus will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 41.2 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.
