Objective vs Argos
Where Objective belongs to Jotun's range, Argos is a Sherwin-Williams color. Objective reads as greige-grey, while Argos reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (50 vs 51), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Objective runs warm while Argos is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Objective vs Argos in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Objective and Argos 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.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The temperature contrast between Objective and Argos is what sets these apart most in this context.

Objective vs Argos Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Objective on one side and Argos 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.
