Cottage Hill vs Salt Cellar

Both from Behr's palette. Hue-wise, Cottage Hill belongs to the yellow family and Salt Cellar to the grey family. Salt Cellar (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Cottage Hill (LRV 42), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cottage Hill runs green while Salt Cellar is decidedly green and yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
