Samovar Silver vs Silver Lake
Samovar Silver and Silver Lake come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Samovar Silver reads as grey, while Silver Lake reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 51 vs 53 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Samovar Silver leans neutral, Silver Lake reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 2.9 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
