Outerspace vs Pewter Green
Outerspace and Pewter Green come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Outerspace belongs to the blue-grey family and Pewter Green to the green-grey family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 12 vs 12 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Outerspace leans cool, Pewter Green reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 9.9 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Outerspace vs Pewter Green in Real Spaces
6 real rooms side by side. Outerspace and Pewter Green 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Pewter Green brings more warmth to the space, while Outerspace keeps things cooler and crisper.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Outerspace reads more restrained here, while Pewter Green adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Outerspace reads more restrained here, while Pewter Green adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Outerspace reads more restrained here, while Pewter Green adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Outerspace reads more restrained here, while Pewter Green adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Outerspace reads more restrained here, while Pewter Green adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Outerspace on one side and Pewter Green on the other.
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.
