Sky Diving vs Artichoke
Sky Diving is a PPG color while Artichoke comes from Sherwin-Williams. Hue-wise, Sky Diving belongs to the blue family and Artichoke to the grey family. At LRV 65 vs 21, Sky Diving will read as the brighter of the two — a 44-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 35.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Sky Diving vs Artichoke in Real Spaces
6 real rooms side by side. Seeing Sky Diving and Artichoke in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Sky Diving returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Sky Diving will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Artichoke would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Sky Diving will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Artichoke would.
Home Office
In a home office, wall color sits in your peripheral vision for hours at a time, so temperature and undertone matter more than you might expect. The LRV gap is large enough that Sky Diving will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Artichoke would.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Sky Diving will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Artichoke would.
Front Door
Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. Sky Diving returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Sky Diving on one side and Artichoke 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.
