Green Leaf vs Silt
Where Green Leaf belongs to Jotun's range, Silt is a Little Greene color. Green Leaf reads as green-greige, while Silt reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Green Leaf (LRV 24) reflects noticeably more light than Silt (LRV 21), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Green Leaf runs warm while Silt is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.6 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.
Green Leaf vs Silt in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Green Leaf and Silt 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.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

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