Cloud Nine vs Martha's Vineyard
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cloud Nine reads as yellow, while Martha's Vineyard reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cloud Nine (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Martha's Vineyard (LRV 12), a difference of 72 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cloud Nine runs yellow while Martha's Vineyard is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 55.7, 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.
