Vine LeafBehrvsTranquil DawnDuluxΔE 64.3Very different colors

Where Vine Leaf belongs to Behr's range, Tranquil Dawn is a Dulux color. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Tranquil Dawn (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Vine Leaf (LRV 10), a difference of 45 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Vine Leaf runs green while Tranquil Dawn is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 64.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
