Gothic Green vs Strawberry

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Gothic Green belongs to the green-grey family and Strawberry to the pink family. Strawberry (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Gothic Green (LRV 16), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gothic Green runs green while Strawberry is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
