Baby Fern vs Festival Green
Where Baby Fern belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Festival Green is a Sherwin-Williams color. Baby Fern reads as green-yellow, while Festival Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Festival Green (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Baby Fern (LRV 25), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Baby Fern runs green while Festival Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
