Dinner Mint vs Thin Ice
Both from PPG's palette. Dinner Mint reads as green, while Thin Ice reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (72 vs 70), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. With a ΔE of 18.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Dinner Mint 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.
