Vienna Green vs Putting Green
Where Vienna Green belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Putting Green is a Dulux color. These are both green-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-yellow to land. Putting Green (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Vienna Green (LRV 40), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Vienna Green runs green and yellow while Putting Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 13.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
