Eclipse vs Oakmoss
Eclipse and Oakmoss come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Eclipse reads as greige-grey, while Oakmoss reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 14 vs 13 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Eclipse leans warm, Oakmoss reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 7.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Eclipse vs Oakmoss in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Eclipse and Oakmoss 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.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Oakmoss reads more restrained here, while Eclipse adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Oakmoss reads more restrained here, while Eclipse adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Oakmoss reads more restrained here, while Eclipse adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.

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