Bella Blue vs Forest Valley Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Bella Blue reads as blue, while Forest Valley Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Forest Valley Green (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Bella Blue (LRV 18), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bella Blue runs blue while Forest Valley Green is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 25.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
