Colonial Revival Sea Green vs Wavecrest
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. Wavecrest (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Colonial Revival Sea Green (LRV 49), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Colonial Revival Sea Green runs cool while Wavecrest is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.9, the contrast is hard to miss.
