Hopper vs Mosaic Tile
Hopper (Little Greene) and Mosaic Tile (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hopper reads as green, while Mosaic Tile reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The NaN-point LRV gap — NaN for Mosaic Tile vs 14 for Hopper — means Mosaic Tile will open up a space more effectively. Where Hopper leans green, Mosaic Tile reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of NaN puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Hopper on one side and Mosaic Tile 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.
