Piedmont vs Pine Frost

PiedmontSherwin-WilliamsvsPine FrostSherwin-WilliamsΔE 4.0 — Noticeable difference

Piedmont and Pine Frost come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 65 for Pine Frost vs 60 for Piedmont — means Pine Frost will open up a space more effectively. Where Piedmont leans cool, Pine Frost reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 4.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. 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.
