Niebla Azul vs Samovar Silver
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Niebla Azul reads as blue-grey, while Samovar Silver reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 53 and 51, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Niebla Azul's cool character against Samovar Silver's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 2.9, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Niebla Azul vs Samovar Silver in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Niebla Azul and Samovar Silver are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Niebla Azul reads more restrained here, while Samovar Silver adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The temperature contrast between Samovar Silver and Niebla Azul is what sets these apart most in this context.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The temperature contrast between Samovar Silver and Niebla Azul is what sets these apart most in this context.

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.
