Grappa vs Pine Forest

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Grappa belongs to the grey family and Pine Forest to the green-grey family. Pine Forest (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Grappa (LRV 9), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Grappa runs purple while Pine Forest is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 51.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
