Riverdale Green vs Scandinavian Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Riverdale Green reads as green-yellow, while Scandinavian Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Riverdale Green (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Scandinavian Blue (LRV 12), a difference of 67 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Riverdale Green runs green while Scandinavian Blue is decidedly blue and purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 87.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
