Freedom Found vs Hatteras Gray
Both from PPG's palette. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Freedom Found (LRV 18) reflects noticeably more light than Hatteras Gray (LRV 15), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 3.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
