Appalachian Green vs Veranda View

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both green-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-yellow to land. Appalachian Green (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Veranda View (LRV 65), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 13.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
