Kingston vs Sea Salt
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. At LRV 70 vs 63, Kingston will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Kingston's cool character against Sea Salt's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 3.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
