Slate Tile vs Wall Street
Slate Tile and Wall Street come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 15 vs 15 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Slate Tile leans cool, Wall Street reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 2.3 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Slate Tile vs Wall Street in Real Spaces
6 real rooms side by side. Slate Tile and Wall Street are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Wall Street brings more warmth to the space, while Slate Tile keeps things cooler and crisper.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Slate Tile reads more restrained here, while Wall Street adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Slate Tile reads more restrained here, while Wall Street adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Slate Tile reads more restrained here, while Wall Street adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Slate Tile reads more restrained here, while Wall Street adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Front Door
On a front door, the color is both the first and last thing you see — a context where even a modest tonal difference reads clearly. Wall Street brings more warmth to the space, while Slate Tile keeps things cooler and crisper.
