Hazel vs Mediterranean Dusk
Where Hazel belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, Mediterranean Dusk is a Valspar color. Hazel reads as green, while Mediterranean Dusk reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Hazel (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Mediterranean Dusk (LRV 46), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
