Avocado vs Icicle

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Avocado belongs to the yellow family and Icicle to the beige-greige family. Icicle (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Avocado (LRV 17), a difference of 66 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Avocado runs warm while Icicle is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 54.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
