Sea Glass vs Thin Ice

Sea GlassPPGvsThin IcePPGΔE 53.1Very different colors

Both from PPG's palette. Sea Glass reads as blue, while Thin Ice reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Thin Ice (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Sea Glass (LRV 9), a difference of 61 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 53.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
