Jasper Stone vs Juniper
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Jasper Stone (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Juniper (LRV 20), a difference of 12 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 13.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 7 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Jasper Stone vs Juniper in Real Spaces
7 real rooms side by side. Seeing Jasper Stone and Juniper in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Jasper Stone will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Juniper would.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Jasper Stone reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Juniper.
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. Jasper Stone reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Juniper.
Home Office
The test for a home office color isn't how it looks in a quick glance — it's whether it still feels right after a full day of work. Jasper Stone reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Juniper.
Mudroom
Mudrooms are seen in passing, often under whatever light comes through the door — a context that favors colors with some depth. Jasper Stone returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Jasper Stone reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Juniper.
Front Door
A front door is a focal point — small color differences read clearly at this concentrated scale. The LRV gap is large enough that Jasper Stone will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Juniper would.

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.
