Exotic Bloom vs Winterwood
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Exotic Bloom belongs to the green family and Winterwood to the greige-grey family. Winterwood (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Exotic Bloom (LRV 47), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Exotic Bloom runs green while Winterwood is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
