Fresh Lime vs Minced Onion
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Fresh Lime reads as green, while Minced Onion reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Minced Onion (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Fresh Lime (LRV 34), a difference of 50 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fresh Lime runs green while Minced Onion is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 67.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
