Green Cove Springs vs New Retro
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Green Cove Springs belongs to the green-yellow family and New Retro to the green family. Green Cove Springs (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than New Retro (LRV 77), a difference of 5 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 5.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
