Green Glaze vs Lighter Mint
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Green Glaze (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Lighter Mint (LRV 80), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Green Glaze runs neutral while Lighter Mint is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.1 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.
