Exotic Lime vs Spring Iris
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Exotic Lime belongs to the beige-yellow family and Spring Iris to the blue-purple family. Spring Iris (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Exotic Lime (LRV 52), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Exotic Lime runs yellow while Spring Iris is decidedly blue and purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 79.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
