Cloudy Sky vs Mantis Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cloudy Sky belongs to the blue-grey family and Mantis Green to the green family. Mantis Green (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Cloudy Sky (LRV 33), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cloudy Sky runs blue while Mantis Green is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
