Breakwaters vs Rainsong
Where Breakwaters belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Rainsong is a PPG color. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Rainsong (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Breakwaters (LRV 76), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
