Green Balsam vs Planetary Silver
Both from Behr's palette. Green Balsam reads as green-grey, while Planetary Silver reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Planetary Silver (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Green Balsam (LRV 39), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of NaN, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
