Whirlybird vs Pastel green
Where Whirlybird belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Pastel green is a RAL Classic color. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Pastel green (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Whirlybird (LRV 46), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
