Cucumber Salad vs Douglas Fern
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. Cucumber Salad (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Douglas Fern (LRV 55), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 7.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
