Fresh Cut Grass vs Summer Lime
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Fresh Cut Grass belongs to the yellow family and Summer Lime to the beige-yellow family. Summer Lime (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Fresh Cut Grass (LRV 76), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 16.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
