Martha's Vineyard vs Kale Green
Where Martha's Vineyard belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Kale Green is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. 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 Kale Green is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
