Kiwi vs Radiant Lilac
Kiwi and Radiant Lilac come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Kiwi reads as green, while Radiant Lilac reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 30-point LRV gap — 58 for Kiwi vs 28 for Radiant Lilac — means Kiwi will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 44.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
