Sea Spray vs Sea Smoke
Sea Spray is a Sherwin-Williams color while Sea Smoke comes from Tikkurila. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 61 and 63, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.5, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
