Mermaid Green vs Seafoam Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both blue-greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-green to land. Seafoam Green (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Mermaid Green (LRV 61), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mermaid Green runs green and blue while Seafoam Green is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 13.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate.
