Glade Green vs Lime Rickey
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Glade Green belongs to the beige-green family and Lime Rickey to the yellow family. Lime Rickey (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Glade Green (LRV 36), a difference of 9 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 15.1, 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.
