Mint Grasshopper vs Lighter Mint
Where Mint Grasshopper belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Lighter Mint is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Mint Grasshopper (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Lighter Mint (LRV 80), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
