Deep River vs Rainy Afternoon
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Deep River reads as grey, while Rainy Afternoon reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Rainy Afternoon (LRV 15) reflects noticeably more light than Deep River (LRV 8), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 12.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
