Caribbean Teal vs Dill Pickle
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Caribbean Teal reads as blue-grey, while Dill Pickle reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Dill Pickle (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Caribbean Teal (LRV 20), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Caribbean Teal runs blue while Dill Pickle is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 42.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
