Dark Walnut vs Verdigris

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Dark Walnut reads as pink, while Verdigris reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Verdigris (LRV 17) reflects noticeably more light than Dark Walnut (LRV 10), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dark Walnut runs red while Verdigris is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
