Green Glaze vs Pearl Onion
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Green Glaze reads as green, while Pearl Onion reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (86 vs 86), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
