Emerald Vapor vs Opera Glass
Where Emerald Vapor belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Opera Glass is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Opera Glass (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Emerald Vapor (LRV 82), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Emerald Vapor runs green while Opera Glass is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
