Fortitude vs Green Earth
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Fortitude reads as grey, while Green Earth reads as green-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 56 vs 31, Fortitude will read as the brighter of the two — a 25-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Fortitude's neutral character against Green Earth's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 19.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Fortitude on one side and Green Earth 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.
