Holiday Wreath vs Duck Green
Where Holiday Wreath belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Duck Green is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Holiday Wreath (LRV 14) reflects noticeably more light than Duck Green (LRV 8), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Holiday Wreath runs green while Duck Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
