Hopper vs Arugula
Where Hopper belongs to Little Greene's range, Arugula is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Hopper (LRV 14) reflects noticeably more light than Arugula (LRV 10), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Hopper runs green while Arugula is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
