Outer Sphere vs Raindrops on Roses

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Outer Sphere reads as green, while Raindrops on Roses reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (74 vs 72), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Outer Sphere runs green while Raindrops on Roses is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
