Appalachian Green vs Enlightened Lime
Appalachian Green is a Benjamin Moore color while Enlightened Lime comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both green-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-yellow to land. With LRVs of 80 and 80, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Appalachian Green's green character against Enlightened Lime's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 1.2, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
