Garden Path vs Gunmetal

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Garden Path reads as green-grey, while Gunmetal reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Garden Path (LRV 43) reflects noticeably more light than Gunmetal (LRV 17), a difference of 27 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Garden Path runs green while Gunmetal is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
