Aplomb vs Everglades

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Aplomb reads as grey, while Everglades reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Everglades (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Aplomb (LRV 21), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aplomb runs red while Everglades is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
