Sanctuary vs Viaduct
Sanctuary and Viaduct come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Sanctuary reads as beige-greige, while Viaduct reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 26-point LRV gap — 76 for Sanctuary vs 50 for Viaduct — means Sanctuary will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 14.0 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.
