Bahama Waters vs Mermaid's Tale
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Bahama Waters (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Mermaid's Tale (LRV 64), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bahama Waters runs green while Mermaid's Tale is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 3.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
