Salal Leaves vs Mermaid
Where Salal Leaves belongs to PPG's range, Mermaid is a Tikkurila color. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Mermaid (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Salal Leaves (LRV 18), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
