Mountain Pine vs Rainy Afternoon
Both from Behr's palette. Mountain Pine reads as blue-grey, while Rainy Afternoon reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Rainy Afternoon (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Mountain Pine (LRV 15), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mountain Pine runs green and blue while Rainy Afternoon is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
