Sea Mariner vs Zeus
Sea Mariner and Zeus come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Sea Mariner reads as blue-grey, while Zeus reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 22-point LRV gap — 28 for Zeus vs 7 for Sea Mariner — means Zeus will open up a space more effectively. Where Sea Mariner leans cool, Zeus reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 33.9 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.
