Brooklet vs Waterscape
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Brooklet reads as blue-green, while Waterscape reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 85 vs 62, Brooklet will read as the brighter of the two — a 23-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a cool quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 12.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Brooklet vs Waterscape in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Brooklet and Waterscape in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Brooklet returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Brooklet will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Waterscape would.
Mudroom
A mudroom color needs to hold up under the most casual scrutiny: a glance as you're coming and going, often in mixed or artificial light. Brooklet reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Waterscape.
Front Door
Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. Brooklet returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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