Fresh Olive vs Thyme

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Fresh Olive reads as beige-yellow, while Thyme reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Fresh Olive (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Thyme (LRV 25), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fresh Olive runs yellow while Thyme is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
