Tamarind vs Tarragon

TamarindSherwin-WilliamsvsTarragonSherwin-WilliamsΔE 44.7Very different colors

Tamarind and Tarragon come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Tamarind reads as beige, while Tarragon reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 33-point LRV gap — 40 for Tamarind vs 7 for Tarragon — means Tamarind will open up a space more effectively. Where Tamarind leans warm, Tarragon reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 44.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
