Liveable Green vs Soulful Blue

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Liveable Green belongs to the green-greige family and Soulful Blue to the blue-grey family. Liveable Green (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Soulful Blue (LRV 20), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Liveable Green runs neutral while Soulful Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 37.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
