Shimmering Glade vs Palm
Shimmering Glade (Cloverdale Paint) and Palm (Farrow & Ball) 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 4-point LRV gap — 62 for Shimmering Glade vs 58 for Palm — means Shimmering Glade will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 10.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Shimmering Glade vs Palm in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Shimmering Glade and Palm in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Shimmering Glade 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 — Shimmering Glade gives the walls a little more lift.

Shimmering Glade vs Palm Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Shimmering Glade on one side and Palm 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.
