Irish Moss vs Palm Leaf
Where Irish Moss belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Palm Leaf is a Jotun color. Irish Moss reads as green, while Palm Leaf reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Palm Leaf (LRV 20) reflects noticeably more light than Irish Moss (LRV 17), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Irish Moss runs green while Palm Leaf is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
