Labrador Blue vs Smoky Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Labrador Blue reads as blue, while Smoky Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Smoky Green (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Labrador Blue (LRV 33), a difference of 28 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Labrador Blue runs cool while Smoky Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 23.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
