Filmy Green vs Gypsum
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Hue-wise, Filmy Green belongs to the green-grey family and Gypsum to the white family. At LRV 82 vs 64, Gypsum will read as the brighter of the two — a 18-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a neutral quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 9.8, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Filmy Green vs Gypsum in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Filmy Green and Gypsum 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Gypsum returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Gypsum will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Filmy Green would.

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