Candy Green vs Sour Apple
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Candy Green reads as green-yellow, while Sour Apple reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sour Apple (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Candy Green (LRV 62), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 22.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
