Pistachio vs Purple Lotus
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Pistachio belongs to the green family and Purple Lotus to the grey-purple family.

Pistachio runs green while Purple Lotus is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 62.9, the contrast is hard to miss.
