Bare vs Filmy Green
Where Bare belongs to Jotun's range, Filmy Green is a Sherwin-Williams color. Bare reads as greige-grey, while Filmy Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (64 vs 64), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Bare runs warm while Filmy Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Bare vs Filmy Green in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Bare and Filmy 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The temperature contrast between Bare and Filmy Green is what sets these apart most in this context.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Bare brings more warmth to the space, while Filmy Green keeps things cooler and crisper.

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.
