Arsenic vs May Apple
Arsenic is a Farrow & Ball color while May Apple comes from PPG. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. At LRV 55 vs 37, May Apple will read as the brighter of the two — a 18-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 21.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
