Painted Turtle vs Jadite
Where Painted Turtle belongs to PPG's range, Jadite is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Jadite (LRV 20) reflects noticeably more light than Painted Turtle (LRV 15), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
