Garden Cucumber vs Oystershell
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Garden Cucumber reads as blue-green, while Oystershell reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Oystershell (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Garden Cucumber (LRV 10), a difference of 58 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Garden Cucumber runs green while Oystershell is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 50.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
