Gentle Caress vs May green
Gentle Caress is a Cloverdale Paint color while May green comes from RAL Classic. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. At LRV 36 vs 20, Gentle Caress will read as the brighter of the two — a 16-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 17.0, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
