Gray Glimpse vs Touch of Spring
Gray Glimpse (PPG) and Touch of Spring (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. The 8-point LRV gap — 77 for Gray Glimpse vs 69 for Touch of Spring — means Gray Glimpse will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 5.1 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
