Appalachian Trail vs Palladian Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Appalachian Trail reads as green, while Palladian Blue reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Palladian Blue (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Appalachian Trail (LRV 47), a difference of 13 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 10.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
