Seaspray vs Iron Ore

SeasprayPPGvsIron OreSherwin-WilliamsΔE 63.5 — Very different colors

Seaspray (PPG) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Seaspray reads as blue, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 73-point LRV gap — 79 for Seaspray vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Seaspray will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 63.5 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.
