Cool Lava vs Spring Mint
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cool Lava reads as pink-red, while Spring Mint reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Spring Mint (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Cool Lava (LRV 39), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cool Lava runs red while Spring Mint is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 40.4, 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. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
