Hiking Trail vs Serpentine
Where Hiking Trail belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Serpentine is a Little Greene color. Hiking Trail reads as beige-greige, while Serpentine reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Serpentine (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Hiking Trail (LRV 26), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Hiking Trail runs warm while Serpentine is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
