Devonshire Green vs White Down

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Devonshire Green belongs to the green-greige family and White Down to the beige-white family. White Down (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Devonshire Green (LRV 19), a difference of 57 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 41.7, the contrast is hard to miss.
