Escape Gray vs Forever Green
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Escape Gray reads as grey, while Forever Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Forever Green (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Escape Gray (LRV 41), a difference of 3 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 4.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate.
