After the Rain vs Cool Mint
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, After the Rain belongs to the grey family and Cool Mint to the green family. Cool Mint (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than After the Rain (LRV 50), a difference of 32 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. After the Rain runs red while Cool Mint is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.0, 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.
