Cucumber vs Topiary Tint
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Cucumber reads as green-yellow, while Topiary Tint reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cucumber (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Topiary Tint (LRV 65), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cucumber runs neutral while Topiary Tint is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.0 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.
