Crocus vs Iced Mint

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Crocus reads as blue-purple, while Iced Mint reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Iced Mint (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Crocus (LRV 43), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Crocus runs purple while Iced Mint is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
