Alligator Green vs Old Salem Gray
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Alligator Green belongs to the beige-green family and Old Salem Gray to the beige-greige family. Old Salem Gray (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Alligator Green (LRV 23), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 9.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
