Dewy vs Fleeting Green
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Dewy reads as green, while Fleeting Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (73 vs 74), 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 0.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Dewy vs Fleeting Green in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Dewy and Fleeting Green 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.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.

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