Frostwork vs Wavecrest
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Frostwork belongs to the green-grey family and Wavecrest to the green family. Wavecrest (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Frostwork (LRV 62), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.2 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.
