Light Green vs Sugarplum

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Light Green belongs to the green-yellow family and Sugarplum to the purple family. Light Green (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Sugarplum (LRV 73), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Light Green runs green while Sugarplum is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
