Chimichurri vs Courtyard
Chimichurri is a Benjamin Moore color while Courtyard comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. With LRVs of 10 and 9, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Chimichurri's green character against Courtyard's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 4.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
