New Retro vs Green Vibes
Where New Retro belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Green Vibes is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (77 vs 75), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. New Retro runs green while Green Vibes is decidedly neutral, 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.
