Lucky Green vs Merlot

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Lucky Green reads as green, while Merlot reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 18 vs 4, Lucky Green will read as the brighter of the two — a 14-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Lucky Green's cool character against Merlot's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 64.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
