Kingston vs Nurture Green
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Kingston reads as green-grey, while Nurture Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Kingston (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Nurture Green (LRV 40), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 22.1, 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.
