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.

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.
