Parsley Snips vs Smoky Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Smoky Green (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Parsley Snips (LRV 27), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Parsley Snips runs cool while Smoky Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
