Arsenic vs Julep
Where Arsenic belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Julep is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Arsenic (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Julep (LRV 32), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 16.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
