Bashful vs Grecian Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Bashful belongs to the beige family and Grecian Green to the green-yellow family. Bashful (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Grecian Green (LRV 54), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bashful runs red while Grecian Green is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
