Cloudy Day vs Pewter Green
Cloudy Day (PPG) and Pewter Green (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Cloudy Day belongs to the green family and Pewter Green to the green-grey family. The 64-point LRV gap — 76 for Cloudy Day vs 12 for Pewter Green — means Cloudy Day will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 49.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cloudy Day on one side and Pewter Green 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.
