Dreamcatcher vs Refined

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Dreamcatcher belongs to the green family and Refined to the beige-greige family. Refined (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Dreamcatcher (LRV 48), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dreamcatcher runs green while Refined is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 18.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
