Palisade vs Software
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Palisade reads as greige-grey, while Software reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 35 vs 23, Palisade will read as the brighter of the two — a 12-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Palisade's warm character against Software's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 14.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

Palisade vs Software Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Palisade on one side and Software 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.
