Edamame vs Cool Pine
Edamame (PPG) and Cool Pine (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Edamame reads as grey, while Cool Pine reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 6-point LRV gap — 40 for Cool Pine vs 34 for Edamame — means Cool Pine will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 4.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Edamame vs Cool Pine in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Edamame and Cool Pine are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Cool Pine reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Cool Pine has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Edamame vs Cool Pine Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Edamame on one side and Cool Pine 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.
