Kingston vs Wavecrest
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Kingston belongs to the green-grey family and Wavecrest to the green family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (70 vs 69), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Kingston runs cool while Wavecrest is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
