Desert Twilight vs Lime Accent

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Desert Twilight belongs to the grey family and Lime Accent to the green-yellow family. Lime Accent (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Desert Twilight (LRV 27), a difference of 55 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Desert Twilight runs yellow while Lime Accent is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 37.2, the contrast is hard to miss.
