Frosted Emerald vs Grape Harvest paint color comparison

Frosted Emerald vs Grape Harvest

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Frosted Emerald reads as green, while Grape Harvest reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Frosted Emerald (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Grape Harvest (LRV 13), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 56.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 10 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

10 real rooms side by side. Seeing Frosted Emerald and Grape Harvest in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Living Room

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Frosted Emerald will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Grape Harvest would.
