Iris Bliss vs Van Alen Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Iris Bliss reads as grey, while Van Alen Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Van Alen Green (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Iris Bliss (LRV 34), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Iris Bliss runs purple while Van Alen Green is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 32.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
