Nile vs Freshwater Green
Where Nile belongs to Tikkurila's range, Freshwater Green is a Valspar color. Nile reads as beige-greige, while Freshwater Green reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Freshwater Green (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Nile (LRV 52), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
