Courtyard vs Reseda Green

CourtyardSherwin-WilliamsvsReseda GreenSherwin-WilliamsΔE 25.1 — Very different colors

Courtyard and Reseda Green come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Courtyard reads as green-grey, while Reseda Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 18-point LRV gap — 26 for Reseda Green vs 9 for Courtyard — means Reseda 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 25.1 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.

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.
