Sea Foam vs Light Sage

Sea FoamCloverdale PaintvsLight SagePPGΔE 3.2Noticeable difference

Sea Foam (Cloverdale Paint) and Light Sage (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Sea Foam belongs to the grey family and Light Sage to the green-grey family. The 5-point LRV gap — 51 for Sea Foam vs 46 for Light Sage — means Sea Foam will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 3.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
