Metropolitan vs Winter Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Metropolitan reads as grey, while Winter Green reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Winter Green (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Metropolitan (LRV 50), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Metropolitan runs green while Winter Green is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 23.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
