Aqua Tint vs Northern Lights
Both are PPG colors. Aqua Tint reads as blue-green, while Northern Lights reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 84 and 84, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.7, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Aqua Tint on one side and Northern Lights on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
