Deep Mauve vs Iced Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Deep Mauve reads as pink, while Iced Green reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Iced Green (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Deep Mauve (LRV 20), a difference of 48 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Deep Mauve runs red while Iced Green is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 44.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
