Relish vs Wavecrest
Relish and Wavecrest come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. The 14-point LRV gap — 69 for Wavecrest vs 55 for Relish — means Wavecrest will open up a space more effectively. Where Relish leans cool, Wavecrest reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 13.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Relish vs Wavecrest Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Relish on one side and Wavecrest on the other.
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.
