Crocus vs Granny Smith

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Crocus belongs to the blue-purple family and Granny Smith to the beige-yellow family. Granny Smith (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Crocus (LRV 43), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Crocus runs purple while Granny Smith is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 78.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
