Celery vs Shagreen
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Celery belongs to the beige-yellow family and Shagreen to the beige-green family. Celery (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Shagreen (LRV 57), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 10.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Celery vs Shagreen in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Celery and Shagreen 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Celery will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Shagreen would.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Celery reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Shagreen.

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