Haven vs Lounge Green
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Haven belongs to the green-yellow family and Lounge Green to the green family. Haven (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Lounge Green (LRV 36), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Haven runs neutral while Lounge Green is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Haven vs Lounge Green in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Haven and Lounge Green are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Haven has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Haven reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
