Cucumber vs Minted
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Cucumber belongs to the green-yellow family and Minted to the green family. Minted (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Cucumber (LRV 71), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 6.8 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.
