Celadon vs Soft Mint

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Celadon belongs to the blue-green family and Soft Mint to the blue family. Soft Mint (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Celadon (LRV 65), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Celadon runs green while Soft Mint is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 11.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
