Fleeting Green vs Naval
Fleeting Green and Naval come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Fleeting Green belongs to the green-grey family and Naval to the blue family. The 70-point LRV gap — 74 for Fleeting Green vs 4 for Naval — means Fleeting Green will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 65.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Fleeting Green vs Naval in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Fleeting Green and Naval in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Fleeting Green returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
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. Fleeting Green returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Fleeting Green returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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