Espalier vs Olivetone
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (9 vs 11), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Espalier runs cool while Olivetone is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 11.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
