Cosmic vs Daydream
Cosmic (PPG) and Daydream (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Cosmic belongs to the blue family and Daydream to the blue-grey family. The 4-point LRV gap — 54 for Daydream vs 50 for Cosmic — means Daydream will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 5.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cosmic on one side and Daydream 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.
