Flora vs Grappa
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Flora reads as green-grey, while Grappa reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Flora (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Grappa (LRV 9), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Flora runs green while Grappa is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 43.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
