Herb Garden vs Mesquite
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Herb Garden belongs to the green-yellow family and Mesquite to the beige-greige family. Mesquite (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Herb Garden (LRV 17), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Herb Garden runs green while Mesquite is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
