Dolphin vs Summer Lime

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Dolphin belongs to the grey family and Summer Lime to the beige-yellow family. Summer Lime (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Dolphin (LRV 24), a difference of 61 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 45.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
