Active Green vs Raisin
Active Green and Raisin come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Active Green reads as green, while Raisin reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 47-point LRV gap — 49 for Active Green vs 3 for Raisin — means Active Green will open up a space more effectively. Where Active Green leans cool, Raisin reads warm — 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.

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.
