Aganthus Green vs Cocoa Sand
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Aganthus Green reads as green-grey, while Cocoa Sand reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cocoa Sand (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Aganthus Green (LRV 50), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aganthus Green runs green while Cocoa Sand is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
