Stardew vs Uncertain Gray
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Stardew reads as blue-grey, while Uncertain Gray reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 43 and 43, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Stardew's cool character against Uncertain Gray's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 2.1, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Stardew vs Uncertain Gray in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Stardew and Uncertain Gray 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.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The temperature contrast between Uncertain Gray and Stardew is what sets these apart most in this context.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The temperature contrast between Uncertain Gray and Stardew is what sets these apart most in this context.

Stardew vs Uncertain Gray Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Stardew on one side and Uncertain 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.
