PennywiseSherwin-WilliamsvsSlick BlueSherwin-WilliamsΔE 75.0 — Very different colors

Pennywise and Slick Blue come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Pennywise belongs to the beige-pink family and Slick Blue to the blue family. The 37-point LRV gap — 52 for Slick Blue vs 15 for Pennywise — means Slick Blue will open up a space more effectively. Where Pennywise leans warm, Slick Blue reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 75.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
