Alligator Green vs Balboa Mist
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Alligator Green belongs to the beige-green family and Balboa Mist to the beige-greige family. Balboa Mist (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Alligator Green (LRV 23), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Alligator Green runs yellow while Balboa Mist is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 34.8, the contrast is hard to miss.
