Frog Green vs Apple
Frog Green (Cloverdale Paint) and Apple (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. Frog Green reads as green-yellow, while Apple reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 59 for Frog Green vs 55 for Apple — means Frog Green will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 5.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Frog Green vs Apple in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Frog Green and Apple are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Frog Green reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Frog Green has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The brightness difference is modest but present — Frog Green gives the walls a little more lift.

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