Breaktime vs Spearmint
Breaktime and Spearmint come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 24-point LRV gap — 66 for Breaktime vs 42 for Spearmint — means Breaktime 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. A ΔE of 14.9 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.

Breaktime vs Spearmint Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Breaktime on one side and Spearmint 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.
