Seedling vs Vermont Slate
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Seedling reads as green, while Vermont Slate reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Seedling (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Vermont Slate (LRV 13), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Seedling runs green while Vermont Slate is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 40.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
