Picnic vs Plummy
Picnic and Plummy come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Picnic reads as green, while Plummy reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 35-point LRV gap — 47 for Picnic vs 11 for Plummy — means Picnic will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 63.3 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.
