Celery vs Lime Granita
Celery and Lime Granita come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Celery belongs to the beige-yellow family and Lime Granita to the yellow family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 71 vs 73 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Celery leans warm, Lime Granita reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 5.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Celery vs Lime Granita in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Celery and Lime Granita are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
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. Celery brings more warmth to the space, while Lime Granita keeps things cooler and crisper.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Lime Granita reads more restrained here, while Celery adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.

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.
