Barely There vs Chimichurri

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Barely There belongs to the beige-greige family and Chimichurri to the green-grey family. Barely There (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Chimichurri (LRV 10), a difference of 68 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Barely There runs yellow while Chimichurri is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 58.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
