Lime Granita vs Naval
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Lime Granita reads as yellow, while Naval reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lime Granita (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Naval (LRV 4), a difference of 68 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lime Granita runs neutral while Naval is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 70.4, 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 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Lime Granita vs Naval in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Lime Granita and Naval 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 Lime Granita will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Naval would.
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. Lime Granita reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Naval.

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.
