Colony Green vs Slow Green
Colony Green (Benjamin Moore) and Slow Green (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 66 vs 64 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Colony Green leans green, Slow Green reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 2.1 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Colony Green vs Slow Green Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Colony Green on one side and Slow Green 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.
