Jewel Beetle reads as yellow, while Fern green reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Fern green (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Jewel Beetle (LRV 11), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
