Tracery II vs Cool Pine

Tracery IILittle GreenevsCool PineValsparΔE 4.7Noticeable difference

Tracery II is a Little Greene color while Cool Pine comes from Valspar. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. At LRV 46 vs 40, Tracery II will read as the brighter of the two — a 6-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 4.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
