Shagreen vs Sprout

ShagreenSherwin-WilliamsvsSproutSherwin-WilliamsΔE 15.5 — Distinct difference

Shagreen and Sprout come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Shagreen belongs to the beige-green family and Sprout to the beige-yellow family. The 20-point LRV gap — 76 for Sprout vs 57 for Shagreen — means Sprout will open up a space more effectively. Where Shagreen leans warm, Sprout reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 15.5 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.
