Essex Green vs Storm
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Essex Green reads as green, while Storm reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Storm (LRV 36) reflects noticeably more light than Essex Green (LRV 4), a difference of 32 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Essex Green runs cool while Storm is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render.
