Hemlock vs Leaflet
Where Hemlock belongs to PPG's range, Leaflet is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Hemlock belongs to the grey family and Leaflet to the green-grey family. Leaflet (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Hemlock (LRV 27), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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