Green Silk vs Silver Leaf
Both from PPG's palette. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Green Silk (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Silver Leaf (LRV 43), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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 Green Silk on one side and Silver Leaf 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.
