Clean Green vs Picnic
Clean Green and Picnic come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 14-point LRV gap — 61 for Clean Green vs 47 for Picnic — means Clean Green 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 12.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Clean Green vs Picnic Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Clean Green on one side and Picnic 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.
