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.
