Marine vs Plum Dandy

Marine and Plum Dandy come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Marine belongs to the green-grey family and Plum Dandy to the grey family. The 19-point LRV gap — 36 for Marine vs 17 for Plum Dandy — means Marine 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.
