Eclipse vs Green Umber

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Eclipse reads as blue-grey, while Green Umber reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Green Umber (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Eclipse (LRV 20), a difference of 39 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Eclipse runs blue while Green Umber is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
