Appalachian Trail vs Kind Green
Where Appalachian Trail belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Kind Green is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Kind Green (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Appalachian Trail (LRV 47), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Appalachian Trail runs green while Kind Green is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
