Calm Thoughts vs Pine Frost
Where Calm Thoughts belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Pine Frost is a PPG color. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Calm Thoughts (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Pine Frost (LRV 80), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
