Citra Lime vs Hydrangea
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Citra Lime reads as green, while Hydrangea reads as purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Citra Lime (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Hydrangea (LRV 37), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Citra Lime runs green while Hydrangea is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 51.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
