Dark Walnut vs Goodwin Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Dark Walnut reads as pink, while Goodwin Green reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (10 vs 11), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Dark Walnut runs red while Goodwin Green is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
