Bayleaf vs Evening Grove

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Bayleaf (LRV 18) reflects noticeably more light than Evening Grove (LRV 14), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bayleaf runs red while Evening Grove is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
