Clearspring Green vs Palm Leaf
Clearspring Green (Benjamin Moore) and Palm Leaf (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. Clearspring Green reads as green, while Palm Leaf reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 9-point LRV gap — 29 for Clearspring Green vs 20 for Palm Leaf — means Clearspring Green will open up a space more effectively. Where Clearspring Green leans green, Palm Leaf reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 12.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Clearspring Green vs Palm Leaf in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Clearspring Green and Palm Leaf 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Clearspring Green reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Palm Leaf.
Mudroom
In a hardworking space like a mudroom, the depth and warmth of a color reads differently than in a quieter room. The LRV gap is large enough that Clearspring Green will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Palm Leaf would.
