Spring Thaw vs Winchester Sage

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Spring Thaw reads as beige-greige, while Winchester Sage reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Spring Thaw (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Winchester Sage (LRV 33), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Spring Thaw runs yellow while Winchester Sage is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 24.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
