Great Joy vs Crocodile Dreams
Where Great Joy belongs to PPG's range, Crocodile Dreams is a Valspar color. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Great Joy (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Crocodile Dreams (LRV 68), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
