They have nearly identical light reflectance values (12 vs 13), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Martha's Vineyard runs green while Forest Shade is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Martha's Vineyard vs Forest Shade in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Martha's Vineyard and Forest Shade are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
