Fresh Olive vs Newt Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Fresh Olive reads as beige-yellow, while Newt Green reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Fresh Olive (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Newt Green (LRV 20), a difference of 11 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 10.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
