Sherwood Green vs Whirlybird
Where Sherwood Green belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Whirlybird is a Farrow & Ball color. Sherwood Green reads as green-yellow, while Whirlybird reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Whirlybird (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than Sherwood Green (LRV 43), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sherwood Green runs green while Whirlybird 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.
