Grasshopper vs Straightforward Green
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Straightforward Green (LRV 29) reflects noticeably more light than Grasshopper (LRV 19), a difference of 10 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 19.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Grasshopper vs Straightforward Green Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Grasshopper on one side and Straightforward Green 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.
