Alligator Green vs Pine Grove

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Alligator Green reads as beige-green, while Pine Grove reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Alligator Green (LRV 23) reflects noticeably more light than Pine Grove (LRV 19), a difference of 4 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 7.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
