Great GreenSherwin-WilliamsvsPlummySherwin-WilliamsΔE 52.3 — Very different colors

Great Green and Plummy come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Great Green reads as green-yellow, while Plummy reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 32-point LRV gap — 43 for Great Green vs 11 for Plummy — means Great Green will open up a space more effectively. Where Great Green leans neutral, Plummy reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 52.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
