Ginseng vs Celery
Ginseng (Jotun) and Celery (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Ginseng belongs to the beige family and Celery to the beige-yellow family. The 9-point LRV gap — 71 for Celery vs 62 for Ginseng — 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. ΔE 6.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Ginseng vs Celery in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Ginseng 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 reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Ginseng.
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 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Ginseng vs Celery Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Ginseng 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.
