Celery vs Chamomile
Celery and Chamomile come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 3-point LRV gap — 75 for Chamomile vs 71 for Celery — means Chamomile will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 3.8 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.
Celery vs Chamomile in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Celery and Chamomile 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. Chamomile reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Chamomile has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Chamomile has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Chamomile has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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