Bamboo Stem vs Celtic Forest 2
Both from Dulux's palette. Bamboo Stem reads as green-yellow, while Celtic Forest 2 reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Bamboo Stem (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Celtic Forest 2 (LRV 35), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bamboo Stem runs neutral while Celtic Forest 2 is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
