Difference between SW Windsor Greige and Barcelona Beige

3 years ago

last modified: 3 years ago

Hi! Can any paint experts out there tell me the difference between Sherwin Williams Windsor Greige and SW Barcelona Beige? They appear to be VERY close, but I have a feeling the difference will be more pronounced on a larger scale. Here is the data from Lori's color DNA table. Can I assume that Windsor Greige will be cooler and more neutral/closer to gray than Barcelona Beige? Windsor Greige's name suggests that will be the case, but I don't always trust paint color names :)

Holy cats. Those are REALLY close. Let me make sure there isn't a mistake. BRB.

Not a mistake. Reasonable to call them the same color. Super strange - and they're both on the same chip strip in the fandeck, #285

Windsor is ever so slightly more gray.

Barcelona does look a teeny tiny bit lighter.

Would not have noticed without the data pointing it out because they are so similar.

Lori, thank you so much for replying! I was surprised that SW offered two colors that were that similar, but after seeing your response I know which one will work best for me. I love your paint color DNA table...such an awesome resource!
