Spruce Shade vs Halcyon Green

Spruce ShadePPGvsHalcyon GreenSherwin-WilliamsΔE 3.0Subtle difference

Spruce Shade (PPG) and Halcyon Green (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 38 for Halcyon Green vs 34 for Spruce Shade — means Halcyon Green will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 3.0 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. 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.
