Celtic Green vs Mardi Gras
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Celtic Green reads as green, while Mardi Gras reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mardi Gras (LRV 19) reflects noticeably more light than Celtic Green (LRV 11), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Celtic Green runs green while Mardi Gras is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 74.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
