Spring Forest vs Mermaid
Where Spring Forest belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Mermaid is a Tikkurila color. Spring Forest reads as green, while Mermaid reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Spring Forest (LRV 27) reflects noticeably more light than Mermaid (LRV 22), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate.
