Shabby Chic vs Springtime Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Shabby Chic reads as beige-greige, while Springtime Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Springtime Green (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Shabby Chic (LRV 49), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Shabby Chic runs red while Springtime Green is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
