Patina vs Rivulet
Where Patina belongs to Behr's range, Rivulet is a Sherwin-Williams color. Patina reads as green, while Rivulet reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (31 vs 33), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Patina runs green while Rivulet is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
