Cool Avocado vs Ryegrass
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Cool Avocado reads as beige-yellow, while Ryegrass reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cool Avocado (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than Ryegrass (LRV 40), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 7.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
