Hancock Green vs Sweet Celadon
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Hancock Green belongs to the green-yellow family and Sweet Celadon to the yellow family. Sweet Celadon (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Hancock Green (LRV 66), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green and yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
