Smokehouse vs Tungsten
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Smokehouse reads as greige-grey, while Tungsten reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Smokehouse (LRV 13) reflects noticeably more light than Tungsten (LRV 8), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 9.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Smokehouse vs Tungsten Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Smokehouse on one side and Tungsten on the other.
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.
