Kensington Green vs Wave
Where Kensington Green belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Wave is a Tikkurila color. Hue-wise, Kensington Green belongs to the blue-green family and Wave to the blue family. Wave (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Kensington Green (LRV 45), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
