Midnight Navy vs Wispy Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Midnight Navy reads as blue, while Wispy Green reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Wispy Green (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Midnight Navy (LRV 5), a difference of 78 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Midnight Navy runs blue and purple while Wispy Green is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 84.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
