Newt Green vs Olivetone

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Newt Green reads as beige-green, while Olivetone reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (20 vs 22), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Newt Green runs yellow while Olivetone is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
