Cress Green vs Lively Ivy
Both from PPG's palette. Cress Green reads as beige-green, while Lively Ivy reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cress Green (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Lively Ivy (LRV 41), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
