Bittergreen vs Scarecrow

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Bittergreen reads as beige-green, while Scarecrow reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Scarecrow (LRV 29) reflects noticeably more light than Bittergreen (LRV 18), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 12.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
