Easy Green vs Kiwi
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Kiwi (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Easy Green (LRV 50), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 10 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Easy Green vs Kiwi in Real Spaces
10 real rooms side by side. Easy Green and Kiwi 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.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Kiwi will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Easy Green would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Kiwi reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Easy Green.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Kiwi reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Easy Green.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Kiwi returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Kiwi reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Easy Green.
Home Office
The test for a home office color isn't how it looks in a quick glance — it's whether it still feels right after a full day of work. Kiwi reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Easy Green.
Mudroom
Mudrooms are seen in passing, often under whatever light comes through the door — a context that favors colors with some depth. Kiwi returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Patio
Outside, paint color competes with sky, landscaping, and direct sun — all of which shift how both of these read compared to an indoor chip. Kiwi returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Kiwi reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Easy Green.
Front Door
A front door is a focal point — small color differences read clearly at this concentrated scale. The LRV gap is large enough that Kiwi will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Easy Green would.

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