Pickling Spice vs Pastel green
Where Pickling Spice belongs to PPG's range, Pastel green is a RAL Classic color. Pickling Spice reads as yellow, while Pastel green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pickling Spice (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Pastel green (LRV 58), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
