Kalamata vs Spring Break

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Kalamata belongs to the pink family and Spring Break to the green family. Spring Break (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than Kalamata (LRV 11), a difference of 35 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Kalamata runs red while Spring Break is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
