Hummingbird Green vs Cilantro
Where Hummingbird Green belongs to Behr's range, Cilantro is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (14 vs 14), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Hummingbird Green runs green while Cilantro is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
