Crystal Clear vs Water Squirt
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Crystal Clear reads as green, while Water Squirt reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (81 vs 80), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. 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.
