Herb Garden vs Houseplant
Where Herb Garden belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Houseplant is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both green-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-yellow to land. Herb Garden (LRV 17) reflects noticeably more light than Houseplant (LRV 14), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Herb Garden runs green while Houseplant is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
