Chard vs Forest Shade
Where Chard belongs to Behr's range, Forest Shade is a Dulux color. Chard reads as green, while Forest Shade reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Forest Shade (LRV 13) reflects noticeably more light than Chard (LRV 8), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Chard runs green while Forest Shade 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.
