Begonia vs Surf Green
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Begonia reads as pink-red, while Surf Green reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 26 vs 21, Begonia will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Begonia's warm character against Surf Green's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 61.4, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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 Begonia on one side and Surf Green 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.
