Prospect vs Rain Cloud

ProspectSherwin-WilliamsvsRain CloudSherwin-WilliamsΔE 15.9 — Distinct difference

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Prospect reads as greige-grey, while Rain Cloud reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 10 and 11, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Prospect's warm character against Rain Cloud's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 15.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.
