A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Green Ivy returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
