Broccoflower vs Reseda Green paint color comparison

Broccoflower vs Reseda Green

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Broccoflower belongs to the green-yellow family and Reseda Green to the green family. Broccoflower (LRV 33) reflects noticeably more light than Reseda Green (LRV 26), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Broccoflower runs neutral while Reseda Green is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.8 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.

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.
