Gem Silica vs Green Balloon
Gem Silica is a Behr color while Green Balloon comes from PPG. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. At LRV 47 vs 39, Green Balloon will read as the brighter of the two — a 8-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 5.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
