Thayer Green vs Green Tea
Where Thayer Green belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Green Tea is a Jotun color. Thayer Green reads as green-greige, while Green Tea reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Green Tea (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Thayer Green (LRV 29), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Thayer Green runs yellow while Green Tea is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
