Grenadier Pond vs Pleasant Valley

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Pleasant Valley (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Grenadier Pond (LRV 34), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 11.8, the contrast is hard to miss.
