Tree Moss vs Snowbound
Where Tree Moss belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Snowbound is a Sherwin-Williams color. Tree Moss reads as greige-grey, while Snowbound reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Snowbound (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Tree Moss (LRV 47), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Tree Moss runs yellow while Snowbound is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Tree Moss vs Snowbound in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Tree Moss and Snowbound 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Snowbound will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Tree Moss would.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Snowbound reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Tree Moss.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Tree Moss 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.
