Mantis Green vs Ultra Violet
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Mantis Green belongs to the green family and Ultra Violet to the pink-purple family. Mantis Green (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Ultra Violet (LRV 13), a difference of 65 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mantis Green runs green while Ultra Violet is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 69.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
