Desert Green vs Grappa
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Desert Green belongs to the green family and Grappa to the grey family. Desert Green (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than Grappa (LRV 9), a difference of 46 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Desert Green runs green while Grappa is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 54.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
