Aganthus Green vs Dark Lilac
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Aganthus Green reads as green-grey, while Dark Lilac reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Aganthus Green (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Dark Lilac (LRV 10), a difference of 40 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aganthus Green runs green while Dark Lilac is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 52.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
