Gleeful vs Mélange Green
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Gleeful belongs to the beige-yellow family and Mélange Green to the beige-green family. Gleeful (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Mélange Green (LRV 53), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gleeful runs warm while Mélange Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
