Shimmering Lime vs Witty Green
Shimmering Lime (Benjamin Moore) and Witty 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. The 7-point LRV gap — 69 for Shimmering Lime vs 62 for Witty Green — means Shimmering Lime will open up a space more effectively. Where Shimmering Lime leans green, Witty Green reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 5.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
