Soar vs Truly Taupe
Soar and Truly Taupe come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Soar reads as blue, while Truly Taupe reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 35-point LRV gap — 70 for Soar vs 35 for Truly Taupe — means Soar will open up a space more effectively. Where Soar leans cool, Truly Taupe reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 27.2 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.
