Enlightened Lime vs Greening
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the green-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Enlightened Lime (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Greening (LRV 76), a difference of 4 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 3.2 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.
