Cushing Green vs Gray Mist

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cushing Green reads as green-grey, while Gray Mist reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Gray Mist (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Cushing Green (LRV 18), a difference of 55 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cushing Green runs green while Gray Mist is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 41.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
