Cotswold vs Serene Breeze

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cotswold belongs to the beige-greige family and Serene Breeze to the green family. Serene Breeze (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Cotswold (LRV 39), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cotswold runs red while Serene Breeze is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
