Light Pistachio vs Wild Orchid
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Light Pistachio reads as green, while Wild Orchid reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Light Pistachio (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Wild Orchid (LRV 25), a difference of 47 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Light Pistachio runs green while Wild Orchid is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 46.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
