Green Ground vs Celery
Green Ground (Farrow & Ball) and Celery (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Green Ground belongs to the beige-green family and Celery to the beige-yellow family. The 4-point LRV gap — 71 for Celery vs 67 for Green Ground — means Celery will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 2.6 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Green Ground vs Celery in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Green Ground and Celery 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. Celery reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Celery has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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