Direct Green vs L380
Direct Green is a Sherwin-Williams color while L380 comes from Tikkurila. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 19 and 20, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 16.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
