Safe HarborPPGvsPewter GreenSherwin-WilliamsΔE 33.2Very different colors

Safe Harbor (PPG) and Pewter Green (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Safe Harbor reads as blue, while Pewter Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 12-point LRV gap — 24 for Safe Harbor vs 12 for Pewter Green — means Safe Harbor will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 33.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
