Central Park vs Darkest Grape

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Central Park belongs to the green-yellow family and Darkest Grape to the blue family. Central Park (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Darkest Grape (LRV 13), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Central Park runs green while Darkest Grape is decidedly blue and purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
