Lacewing vs Lime Granita
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Lacewing reads as green-yellow, while Lime Granita reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (74 vs 73), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.7 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.
Lacewing vs Lime Granita in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Lacewing and Lime Granita 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.
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. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.
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. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.

Lacewing vs Lime Granita Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Lacewing on one side and Lime Granita 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.
