Lush Meadow vs Freshwater Green
Lush Meadow is a Cloverdale Paint color while Freshwater Green comes from Valspar. These are both green-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-yellow to land. With LRVs of 58 and 56, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 7.0, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Lush Meadow vs Freshwater Green in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Lush Meadow and Freshwater Green 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

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.
