Surf Green vs Thermal Spring
Surf Green and Thermal Spring come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Surf Green belongs to the blue-green family and Thermal Spring to the blue family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 21 vs 21 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 11.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Surf Green vs Thermal Spring Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Surf Green on one side and Thermal Spring 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.
