Malachy Green vs Outrageous Green
Where Malachy Green belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Outrageous Green 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. Malachy Green (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Outrageous Green (LRV 40), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Malachy Green runs green while Outrageous Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
