Pine Needle vs Pear Cactus
Pine Needle (Dulux) and Pear Cactus (PPG) come from different manufacturers. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. The 30-point LRV gap — 37 for Pear Cactus vs 7 for Pine Needle — means Pear Cactus will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 42.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
