Shagreen vs Wild Lime paint color comparison

Shagreen vs Wild Lime

ShagreenSherwin-WilliamsvsWild LimeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 7.9 — Noticeable difference

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Shagreen reads as beige-green, while Wild Lime reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Wild Lime (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Shagreen (LRV 57), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 7.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
