Pediment vs Versatile Gray
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Pediment reads as greige-grey, while Versatile Gray reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pediment (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Versatile Gray (LRV 48), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Pediment vs Versatile Gray in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Pediment and Versatile Gray 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.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Pediment returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Pediment on one side and Versatile Gray 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.
