Fahm vs Livid
Where Fahm belongs to Jotun's range, Livid is a Little Greene color. Fahm reads as grey, while Livid reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Fahm has an LRV of 14. Fahm runs neutral while Livid is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Fahm vs Livid in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Fahm and Livid 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. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Fahm on one side and Livid 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.
