Alfalfa Extract vs Houseplant
Where Alfalfa Extract belongs to Behr's range, Houseplant is a Sherwin-Williams color. Alfalfa Extract reads as green, while Houseplant reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Houseplant (LRV 14) reflects noticeably more light than Alfalfa Extract (LRV 11), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Alfalfa Extract runs green while Houseplant is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
