Aloe vs Spearmint
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. Aloe (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Spearmint (LRV 42), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
