Bitter Chocolate vs Greenblack
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Bitter Chocolate reads as grey, while Greenblack reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (5 vs 4), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Bitter Chocolate runs warm while Greenblack is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
