Garden Green vs Gray Owl
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Garden Green reads as blue-green, while Gray Owl reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Gray Owl (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Garden Green (LRV 15), a difference of 50 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Garden Green runs green and blue while Gray Owl is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 51.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate.
