Garden Path vs Tempest
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Garden Path belongs to the green-grey family and Tempest to the grey family. Garden Path (LRV 43) reflects noticeably more light than Tempest (LRV 20), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Garden Path runs green while Tempest is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.9, 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. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
