Filmy Green vs Opaline
Filmy Green and Opaline come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. The 9-point LRV gap — 73 for Opaline vs 64 for Filmy Green — means Opaline will open up a space more effectively. Both share a neutral character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 4.8 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Filmy Green vs Opaline in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Filmy Green and Opaline 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Opaline reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Filmy Green.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Opaline returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
