Elation vs Green Glimpse
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Elation reads as blue-grey, while Green Glimpse reads as green-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Green Glimpse (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Elation (LRV 72), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Elation runs cool while Green Glimpse is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
