Raisin vs Serenely
Raisin and Serenely come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Raisin reads as grey, while Serenely reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 63-point LRV gap — 66 for Serenely vs 3 for Raisin — means Serenely will open up a space more effectively. Where Raisin leans warm, Serenely reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 66.9 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.
