Forever Green vs Sea Spray paint color comparison

Forever Green vs Sea Spray

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Sea Spray (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Forever Green (LRV 44), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 10.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
