Night Mist vs Toucan Black

Night Mist runs green while Toucan Black is decidedly blue and purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 59.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
