Pine Needle vs Thin Ice
Pine Needle is a Dulux color while Thin Ice comes from PPG. Pine Needle reads as green, while Thin Ice reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 70 vs 7, Thin Ice will read as the brighter of the two — a 63-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 60.7, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Pine Needle vs Thin Ice in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Pine Needle and Thin Ice in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Thin Ice returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Thin Ice will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Pine Needle would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Thin Ice will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Pine Needle would.

Pine Needle vs Thin Ice Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Pine Needle on one side and Thin Ice on the other.
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.
