Aplomb vs Garden Cucumber

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Aplomb belongs to the grey family and Garden Cucumber to the blue-green family. Aplomb (LRV 21) reflects noticeably more light than Garden Cucumber (LRV 10), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aplomb runs red while Garden Cucumber is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 32.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
