Reef Green vs White Heron
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Reef Green belongs to the blue-green family and White Heron to the white-yellow family. White Heron (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Reef Green (LRV 16), a difference of 71 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Reef Green runs green while White Heron is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 61.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
