Palisade vs Steely Gray
Palisade and Steely Gray come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Palisade belongs to the greige-grey family and Steely Gray to the blue-grey family. The 5-point LRV gap — 35 for Palisade vs 30 for Steely Gray — means Palisade will open up a space more effectively. Where Palisade leans warm, Steely Gray reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 11.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
