Mantra vs Thistle
Mantra and Thistle come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Mantra reads as green-white, while Thistle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 45-point LRV gap — 75 for Mantra vs 30 for Thistle — means Mantra will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 31.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.
