Carolina Plum vs Killala Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Carolina Plum reads as grey, while Killala Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Killala Green (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Carolina Plum (LRV 27), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Carolina Plum runs purple while Killala Green is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 77.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
