Green Wave vs Warm Springs
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both blue-greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-green to land. Green Wave (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Warm Springs (LRV 53), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 7.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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