Agate Green vs Pickle

Agate Green and Pickle come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Agate Green reads as green-grey, while Pickle reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 34 vs 32 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Agate Green leans cool, Pickle reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 14.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
