Plymouth Green vs Softened Green
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Plymouth Green reads as green-yellow, while Softened Green reads as green-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Softened Green (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Plymouth Green (LRV 45), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 7.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
