Acorn vs Wild Lime
Where Acorn belongs to Little Greene's range, Wild Lime is a Sherwin-Williams color. Acorn reads as yellow, while Wild Lime reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Acorn (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Wild Lime (LRV 72), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Acorn runs yellow while Wild Lime is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
