French Market vs Freshwater Green
Where French Market belongs to PPG's range, Freshwater Green is a Valspar color. French Market reads as green, while Freshwater Green reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Freshwater Green (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than French Market (LRV 50), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
