Palm vs Reclining Green
Where Palm belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Reclining Green is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Reclining Green (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Palm (LRV 58), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Palm runs neutral while Reclining Green is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
