The difference
Read from the numbersBoth read warm. Olympian Green is a green, Safari a yellow.
How they read
In their own wordsOlympian Green is Edward Bulmer's clear, lively lime — made from ultramarine and yellow pigments, with the warmth of chartreuse. The brand's own line is that it is 'a lime green without being a slime green', and on the wall that is exactly right.
Safari SW 7697 is a warm, golden beige from Sherwin-Williams with an LRV of about 46, so it is a true mid-tone rather than a pale neutral.
