Summer's Day vs Parisian Patina
Where Summer's Day belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Parisian Patina is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Summer's Day (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Parisian Patina (LRV 30), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Summer's Day runs neutral while Parisian Patina is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
