Sour Apple vs Wispy Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Sour Apple belongs to the yellow family and Wispy Green to the green-yellow family. Wispy Green (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Sour Apple (LRV 76), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
