Gentle Breeze vs St. John's Bay
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. Gentle Breeze (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than St. John's Bay (LRV 67), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gentle Breeze runs green while St. John's Bay is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
