Metallic Gold vs Mint Chocolate Chip
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Metallic Gold belongs to the beige family and Mint Chocolate Chip to the green family. Mint Chocolate Chip (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Metallic Gold (LRV 35), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Metallic Gold runs red while Mint Chocolate Chip is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
