Glimmer vs Maxi Teal
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Glimmer reads as green-white, while Maxi Teal reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Glimmer (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Maxi Teal (LRV 13), a difference of 66 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 53.3, 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.
