Chartreuse vs Mélange Green

Chartreuse and Mélange Green come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Chartreuse reads as beige-yellow, while Mélange Green reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 11-point LRV gap — 64 for Chartreuse vs 53 for Mélange Green — means Chartreuse will open up a space more effectively. Where Chartreuse leans warm, Mélange Green reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 8.8 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

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.
