Gumdrop vs Iris Bliss

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Gumdrop belongs to the green family and Iris Bliss to the grey family. Gumdrop (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Iris Bliss (LRV 34), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gumdrop runs green while Iris Bliss is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 43.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
