RockweedSherwin-WilliamsvsTradewindSherwin-WilliamsΔE 58.8 — Very different colors

At LRV 61 vs 4, Tradewind will read as the brighter of the two — a 56-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Rockweed's warm character against Tradewind's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 58.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
