How they read
In their own wordsShamrock SW 6454 is a very dark green in Sherwin-Williams' green family, rated for interior and exterior use. Sherwin-Williams gives an LRV of 6.42.
Sea Salt is a soft green-grey that changes its mind with the light: green in a sunny room, blue-grey in a shaded one. At LRV 63 it is light enough for a whole room and quiet enough to live with for years, which is why it has become a modern classic for bedrooms and bathrooms.
