Zen vs Forever Green
Zen is a Behr color while Forever Green comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. With LRVs of 46 and 44, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Zen's green character against Forever Green's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 3.0, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
