Seashell vs True Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Seashell belongs to the beige-yellow family and True Green to the blue-green family. Seashell (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than True Green (LRV 9), a difference of 70 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Seashell runs yellow while True Green is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 63.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
