Breaktime vs Green Trance
Breaktime and Green Trance come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. The 9-point LRV gap — 75 for Green Trance vs 66 for Breaktime — means Green Trance will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 5.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Breaktime vs Green Trance in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Breaktime and Green Trance 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.
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. Green Trance returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Breaktime on one side and Green Trance 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.
