Ginseng Root vs Silver Chain
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Ginseng Root belongs to the beige-yellow family and Silver Chain to the grey family. Ginseng Root (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Silver Chain (LRV 57), a difference of 27 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 21.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
