Dreamy Cloud vs Garden Path
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Dreamy Cloud belongs to the white family and Garden Path to the green-grey family. Dreamy Cloud (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Garden Path (LRV 43), a difference of 33 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dreamy Cloud runs purple while Garden Path is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
