Dewy vs Wavecrest
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. At LRV 73 vs 69, Dewy will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Dewy's cool character against Wavecrest's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 3.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

Digital color is approximate.
