Aloe vs Timid Blue
Aloe and Timid Blue come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Aloe reads as green, while Timid Blue reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 25-point LRV gap — 79 for Timid Blue vs 55 for Aloe — means Timid Blue will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 15.6 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 Aloe on one side and Timid Blue 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.
