Melbourne vs Houseplant
Where Melbourne belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Houseplant is a Sherwin-Williams color. Melbourne reads as green, while Houseplant reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Melbourne (LRV 19) reflects noticeably more light than Houseplant (LRV 14), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
