Black Forest Green vs Royal Flush
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Black Forest Green belongs to the blue-green family and Royal Flush to the pink family.

Black Forest Green runs green and blue while Royal Flush is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 56.4, the contrast is hard to miss.
