Newburg Green vs Pool Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Newburg Green reads as blue-green, while Pool Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pool Blue (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Newburg Green (LRV 11), a difference of 38 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 39.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
