Lime Sorbet vs Snowbound
Lime Sorbet (Benjamin Moore) and Snowbound (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Lime Sorbet reads as green, while Snowbound reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 86 for Lime Sorbet vs 83 for Snowbound — means Lime Sorbet will open up a space more effectively. Where Lime Sorbet leans green, Snowbound reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 10.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Lime Sorbet on one side and Snowbound 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.
