Fern Canopy vs Dill
Where Fern Canopy belongs to Behr's range, Dill is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both green-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-yellow to land. Dill (LRV 24) reflects noticeably more light than Fern Canopy (LRV 21), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fern Canopy runs green while Dill is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Fern Canopy vs Dill in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Fern Canopy and Dill 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.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.

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.
