Mindful GreenJotunvsDried ThymeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 4.4Noticeable difference

Mindful Green (Jotun) and Dried Thyme (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Mindful Green reads as green-grey, while Dried Thyme reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 23 vs 21 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a neutral character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 4.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Mindful Green vs Dried Thyme in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Mindful Green and Dried Thyme 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.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

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.
