Underground Gardens vs Zen
Both from Behr's palette. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Zen (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than Underground Gardens (LRV 28), a difference of 17 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 13.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
