Topsoil vs Obsidian Green

Topsoil reads as green-grey, while Obsidian Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 6-point LRV gap — 8 for Topsoil vs 1 for Obsidian Green — means Topsoil will open up a space more effectively. Both share a green character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 19.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
