Aberdeen Green vs Secret

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Aberdeen Green belongs to the green family and Secret to the grey family. Aberdeen Green (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Secret (LRV 26), a difference of 38 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aberdeen Green runs green while Secret is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 28.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
