Iris Bliss vs Nottingham Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Iris Bliss reads as grey, while Nottingham Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Nottingham Green (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Iris Bliss (LRV 34), a difference of 39 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Iris Bliss runs purple while Nottingham Green is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 42.6, the contrast is hard to miss.
