Cream Yellow vs Guilford Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cream Yellow reads as beige-yellow, while Guilford Green reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cream Yellow (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Guilford Green (LRV 57), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cream Yellow runs red while Guilford Green is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 14.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
