Every room, each colorThe difference
Read from the numbersWindow Pane is the lighter of the two at LRV 72.24, 9 points above Sea Salt at LRV 63.233. Both read cool. Both belong to the green family. For a whole room, Window Pane is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Sea Salt is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsWindow Pane is a pale, silvery green so light — LRV 72 — that in a bright room it reads as a tinted white. The green is there, but it has faded almost to grey, which is what makes it so easy to live with: it cools a room without ever turning it minty.
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.
