Burma Jade vs Juniper

Burma JadeSherwin-WilliamsvsJuniperSherwin-WilliamsΔE 17.6 — Distinct difference

Burma Jade and Juniper come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Burma Jade reads as green, while Juniper reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 20-point LRV gap — 40 for Burma Jade vs 20 for Juniper — means Burma Jade 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 17.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 10 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Burma Jade vs Juniper in Real Spaces

10 real rooms side by side. Seeing Burma Jade and Juniper 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

A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Burma Jade reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Juniper.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
