Candy Green vs Lavender Mist

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Candy Green reads as green-yellow, while Lavender Mist reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (62 vs 63), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Candy Green runs yellow while Lavender Mist is decidedly blue and purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 59.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
