Hopper vs Cilantro
Hopper (Little Greene) and Cilantro (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 14 vs 14 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Hopper leans green, Cilantro reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 5.0 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.
Hopper vs Cilantro in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Hopper and Cilantro 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.
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. Hopper reads more restrained here, while Cilantro adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.

Hopper vs Cilantro Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Hopper on one side and Cilantro 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.
