Roycroft Vellum vs Starry Night

Roycroft Vellum and Starry Night come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Roycroft Vellum reads as beige, while Starry Night reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 70 vs 69 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Roycroft Vellum leans warm, Starry Night reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 18.5 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.

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.
