Palm Leaf vs Inland
Palm Leaf (Jotun) and Inland (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 20 vs 22 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Palm Leaf leans neutral, Inland reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 7.9 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Palm Leaf vs Inland in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Palm Leaf and Inland are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Inland brings more warmth to the space, while Palm Leaf keeps things cooler and crisper.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Palm Leaf reads more restrained here, while Inland adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Palm Leaf reads more restrained here, while Inland adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.

Palm Leaf vs Inland Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Palm Leaf on one side and Inland 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.
