Spatial White vs Swanky Gray
Spatial White and Swanky Gray come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Spatial White reads as grey-white, while Swanky Gray reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 27-point LRV gap — 72 for Spatial White vs 45 for Swanky Gray — means Spatial White will open up a space more effectively. Both share a neutral character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 15.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Spatial White vs Swanky Gray in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Seeing Spatial White and Swanky Gray in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
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. Spatial White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Spatial White on one side and Swanky Gray 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.
