Cinder vs Malachy Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cinder reads as grey, while Malachy Green reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Malachy Green (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Cinder (LRV 24), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cinder runs red while Malachy Green is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 66.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
