Gray Heron vs Illusive Green
Gray Heron (PPG) and Illusive Green (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Gray Heron belongs to the grey family and Illusive Green to the green-grey family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 28 vs 29 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. ΔE 3.1 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Gray Heron vs Illusive Green Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Gray Heron on one side and Illusive Green 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.
