Pine Frost vs Rainwashed

Pine FrostSherwin-WilliamsvsRainwashedSherwin-WilliamsΔE 4.0 — Noticeable difference

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Pine Frost (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Rainwashed (LRV 59), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pine Frost runs neutral while Rainwashed is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
