Puck vs Espalier
Puck is a Little Greene color while Espalier comes from Sherwin-Williams. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 7 and 9, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Puck's green character against Espalier's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 10.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

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.
