Raisin vs Refresh
Raisin and Refresh come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Raisin reads as grey, while Refresh reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 56-point LRV gap — 59 for Refresh vs 3 for Raisin — means Refresh will open up a space more effectively. Where Raisin leans warm, Refresh reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 67.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
